Patent ID: 7086892

Claim:
An electrical connector comprising: a first contact adapted to slidably engage a phase contact of a mating connector; a second contact adapted to slidably engage a neutral contact of the mating connector; a third contact adapted to slidably engage a ground contact of the mating connector; a module of insulating material adapted to be coupled to the electrical connector; indexing means coupled to the module to orient the module relative to the electrical connector; and a series circuit having light emitting means having an on state and an off state supported by the module of insulating material and electrically coupled to said first and second contacts for indicating when said first and second contacts are connected to a live source of electrical power when slidably engaged to said mating connector by being in its on state, wherein the on and off state is independent of the connection of the third contact to the mating connector, wherein conductive springs made of coiled wire connect the ends of the series circuit to the first and second contacts.
