Abstract
A cable assembly comprises a mating member, a print circuit board having two conductive traces, an LED attached to the print circuit board, a cable having a positive wire and a negative wire connected with the mating member, and a pair of contacts respectively corresponding with the positive wire and negative wire. Said positive wire and negative wire respectively has an inner conductor. Each of said contacts defines a catch part connecting the inner conductor and a retaining part locks the print circuit board for electrically connecting said conductive trace.
Claims13
A cable assembly, comprising:
- a mating member;
- a print circuit board having an upper face and a bottom face opposite to the upper face, a pair of plated through holes on said upper face, two conductive traces on said bottom face and each electrically connected to an inner surface of one of said plated through holes;
- an LED device on the bottom face and soldered to said conductive traces;
- a cable member having a positive wire and a negative wire connected with the mating member, said positive wire and negative wire each having an inner conductor;
- and
- a pair of contacts in correspondence with the positive wire and negative wire respectively, each of said contacts having a catch part catching one of said inner conductors, and a retaining part connected to the catch part, said retaining part interferentially and electrically retained in the corresponding plated through holes;
- wherein the catch part has a cylindrical front-end portion and a cambered back-end portion, and the front-end portion defines parallel troughs recessed inward on the outer face thereof;
