A cable connector includes a first plug, a second plug opposite the first plug, a cable connected with the first plug and second plug, and a LED light located in the first plug or the second plug, wherein the cable is provided with a braid layer located at the outermost side of the cable, the braid layer is composed of metal enameled wire mixed fibers, and the cable causes the LED light to be illuminated by capacitive sensing through proximity.

Cable connector

A cable connector assembly includes a cable and a connector electrically connected with the cable for further electrically connecting with a power source. The connector includes: a main body; a plurality of contacts retained to the main body; a light emitting element; a printed circuit board () for controlling the light emitting element to emit light; and an outer case enclosing the connector and defining an indication area; wherein the connector further includes a conducting member mounted on the printed circuit board (), the conducting member is a spring plate made of metal material pressing upon the indication area of the outer case, a front end of the outer case defines a transparent portion made of transparent material, and upon pressing the indication area, capacitance is affected and the light emitting element is turned on to emit light through the transparent portion.

Cable connector assembly having an illumination function

A cable connector assembly () includes: a cable () having a number of inner wires; a first connector () including a main body (), plural contacts () retained in the main body, a first circuit board (), a luminous element (), and a cover; and a second circuit board () assembled on a rear end of the first circuit board and getting power and grounding source from the first circuit board. The second circuit board includes a detection contact () electrically connected to an inner wire of the cable, and a chip () electrically connected respectively to the luminous element and the detection contact. The chip detects a voltage difference between the power source and the first connector. A light is emitted by the luminous element passing through the cover to indicate a charging status of the charging device.

Cable connector assembly with improved indication effect

A cable connector assembly () comprises: a first connector () having a main body (), a number of contacts () retained in the main body, a first circuit board () electrically connected to the contacts, and a metal shell () enclosing the first circuit board; a cable () electrically connected between the first circuit board and a power source to provide a power to the first circuit board; a second circuit board () vertically fixed on the metal shell; a cover enclosing the first and the second circuit board; a luminous element () disposed on a front side of the second circuit board and electrically connected to the first circuit board; and a translucent portion () defined on a front end of the cover to pass light emitted by the luminous element.
