Abstract
A cable-end electrical connector includes a frontal mating member; a vertical internal printed circuit board defining a front surface; a number of light sources positioned on the front surface of the printed circuit board; a light transmissive member permitting a light emitted from the light source to pass through; and a cover enclosing the light transmissive member and the printed circuit board. The light transmissive member includes a penetrable portion permitting the light to pass through and a holding section holding the printed circuit board and constraining the printed circuit board from moving in an up-and-down direction.
