ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a housing having cavities that can receive mating electrical connectors. The cavities are arranged as vertically aligned pairs. The housing holds visual indicators which are associated with the cavities. The visual indicators for each vertically aligned pair are arranged in a rectangular array with one visual indicator at each exterior corner of the vertically aligned pair. At least some of the visual indicators have leads which extend along a rear of the housing. These leads are installed in a retainer prior to installation of the visual indicators in the housing. The visual indicators and the retainer form a subassembly which can be installed on the housing as a unit.
