A cable assembly, comprising:
- an insulative housing having a top side and a cavity on the top side;
- a plurality of contacts received in insulative housing, the contacts including two power contacts partially disposed under the cavity;
- a plurality of wires electrically connected to the contacts, respectively;
- a printed circuit board assembly received in the cavity, the printed circuit board assembly having a substrate and a light emitting diode on the substrate, the lighting emitting diode electrically connected with the two power contact;
- and
- a light guide member assembled to the cavity and located above the light emitting diode.
An electrical connector comprising:
- an insulative housing defining opposite upper and bottom surfaces thereof;
- a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing, each of said contacts defining a front contacting section exposed upon the upper surface, a rear tail section connecting to a corresponding wire and a medium section therebetween;
- a printed circuit board associated with the housing and mechanically and electrically connected to the corresponding medium sections of at least two of said contacts;
- an LED (Light Emitting Diode) mounted to the printed circuit board to expose light upon the upper surface.
