Abstract
A condition-indicating electrical connector includes a non- conductive synthetic plastic connector body carrying a strip conductor that connects a terminal on the body with an electrically-responsive optical display device arranged at a visible location on the connector body, thereby to indicate the electrical status of the terminal, and thus, consequently, the printed circuit conductor electrically connected therewith. The optical device is thus integral with the connector body, and requires no additional electrical components, and requires no space on the printed circuit board.
