Abstract:
An electrical connector comprises a housing and one or more light pipes. The housing includes oppositely disposed first and second end portions and is configured for electrically and mechanically connecting a circuit board adjacent a status indicator. Light pipes can be supported adjacent to the respective first and second end portions and may be disposed proximate to the status indicators. Each light pipe includes an elongated main body configured to optically couple with the status indicator and to guide light emitted from the status indicator, a supporting member disposed on the main body and configured to engage the first end portion and a clip member disposed on the main body and configured to engage the first end of the housing, the supporting member and the clip member helping support and secure the main body.
