Stacked connector with LEDs and method of producing the same

Abstract

An electrical connector (1) has a metal shield (3), a main housing (5), a pair of light-emitting devices (LEDs, 6) received in the main housing, a subassembly (7) assembled to the main housing, a stacked Universal Serial Bus connector (USB) 4, and a molded assembly (2) assembled to the subassembly. Each LED (61, 62) has a plurality of leads (611, 621), a free end (612) of the middle lead of the LED is bent perpendicularly and extending horizontally thereafter below the other leads. The molded assembly comprising a plastic part (24), and a first and second contact elements (22, 23) insert molded in the plastic part. The free ends of the leads are respectively electrical connecting soldering sections (221, 231) of the first and second contact elements.
