Patent ID: 6908333

Claim:
A method for reducing the interference by a bulkhead of light emitted from an indicator light and establishing an electrical connection between an ejector latch and a printed circuit board (PCB) comprising: a) integrating an indicator light with an ejector latch, said indicator light adapted to emit light from said ejector latch such that a visual port is not required in said bulkhead to which said ejector latch is adapted to be coupled said indicator light comprised of: a head portion; and an electrical wire coupled to said head portion, said electrical wire adapted to electrically couple said head portion with a printed circuit board (PCB) such that a signal from said PCB may be received by said head portion; and a current limiting resistor coupled to said electrical wire, said current limiting resistor allowing the utilization of a plurality of voltage levels to activate said indicator light; b) integrating a compression-fit connector with an ejector latch, said compression-fit connector adapted to provide a removably coupleable electrical connection between said indicator light integrated with said ejector latch and a printed circuit board (PCB) such that a further step of connecting said electrical connection between said ejector latch and said PCB is not required; and c) coupling a pad portion with said PCB, said pad portion adapted to provide a removably coupleable electrical connection between said PCB and said ejector latch.
