Abstract
A quick-disconnect connector assembly for connecting a control device or a sensor to a load includes a power/load indicating circuit having a source of red light for indicating that power is available and a source of green light for indicating that power is being applied to a load, the indicating circuit being encapsulated within a molded connector head which is formed of a translucent material so that light emitted by the red and green light sources causes the connector head to glow over substantially its entire extent.
