Electrical connector having LED device

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Accordingly, an objective of the present invention is to provide an electrical connector for input/output signal transmission having LED devices which are easily assembled and disassembled to a housing thereof without the use of an external tool.
To fulfill the above mentioned objectives, an electrical connector in accordance with the present invention includes an insulative housing, a pair of LED devices, a contact member, a pair of positioning members, and an EMI shield.
The LED devices are fittingly attached to a top wall of the housing.
Each positioning member is seated in a positioning space defined in a rear portion of the top wall of the housing whereby a guiding stem and a retaining post extending from a cover thereof are snugly received in a guiding groove and a retaining hole defined in the housing, respectively.
A flange of each positioning member abuts against each LED device thereby securing the LED device to the housing.
To replace the LED devices, the positioning members are removed from the housing by applying a lifting force on the flange.
These and additional objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after reading the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment taken in conjunction with the appended drawing figures.
