Abstract

A light-emitting power connector is disclosed. The light-emitting power connector includes an insulating plug receiving portion, a shell, and a light emitting diode (LED). The insulating plug receiving portion includes a base from which a light penetrating part and a tongue section extend and a plurality of the conductive terminals. The shell is connected to the insulating plug receiving portion and located outside of the tongue section to define a socket between the shell and the tongue section. The LED is installed at a first predetermined position in the insulating plug receiving portion to ensure the shell and the light penetrating part are located within a viewing angle of the LED.
