Abstract:
An electrical connector for being mounted to a mother Printed Circuit Board (PCB), comprising:an insulative housing defining at least one receiving slot for receiving at least one mating connector; a plurality of conductive terminals received in the insulative housing and partially extending into the at least one receiving slot; and an LED subassembly attached to the housing, the LED subassembly including an internal PCB electrically isolated from the conductive terminals before being mounted to the mother PCB and a pair of LEDs electrically mounted on the internal PCB and terminated to the mother PCB via the internal PCB; wherein the internal PCB of the LED subassembly incorporates at least one pair of circuit traces, each LED includes leads soldered to the circuit traces; wherein the internal PCB of the LED subassembly further carries resistors in the at least one pair of circuit traces; wherein the LED subassembly includes foot contacts electrically connected to the circuit traces of the internal PCB; wherein the internal PCB defines plated through holes, each foot contact includes a pair of solder bodies, each solder body forms a stamped tab extending rearwardly through a corresponding plated through hole from one side of the internal PCB and is bent over and against the other side of the internal PCB before soldering; wherein each solder body of the foot contact defines a hole corresponding to the stamped tab and the hole is filled with solder for soldering the tab to the circuit trace of the internal PCB; further including a daughter PCB carrying a plurality of resistors and capacitors and electrically connecting with the conductive terminals; wherein the insulative housing includes opposite side walls and a rear face, at least one mounting portion extending rearwardly from the side walls, said daughter PCB and the internal PCB respectively abutting against the rear face of the housing and a rear face of the at least one mounting portion; further including a magnetic module electrically connected to the daughter PCB.
