CABLE CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY WITH IMPROVED INDICATION EFFECT
First Claim
1. A cable connector assembly comprising:
- a cable having a number of inner wires, a end of the cable adapted to connect to a power source for receiving a power signal and a grounding signal;
a first connector including a main body, a plurality of contacts retained in the main body, a first circuit board assembled on a rear end of the main body and electrically connected with the contacts and the cable, a luminous element, and a cover enclosing the main body and the first circuit board; and
a second circuit board assembled on a rear end of the first circuit board and getting power and grounding source from the first circuit board, the second circuit board comprising a chip and a detection contact, the detection contact electrically connected to an inner wire of the cable, the chip electrically connected respectively to the luminous element and the detection contact, the chip detecting a voltage difference between the power source and the first connector when mating with a charging device and changing a lighting mode of the luminous element according to the voltage difference, a light emitted by the luminous element passing through the cover to indicate a charging status of the charging device.

Abstract
A cable connector assembly (100) includes: a cable (30) having a number of inner wires; a first connector (10) including a main body (120), plural contacts (121) retained in the main body, a first circuit board (130), a luminous element (152), and a cover; and a second circuit board (180) assembled on a rear end of the first circuit board and getting power and grounding source from the first circuit board. The second circuit board includes a detection contact (182) electrically connected to an inner wire of the cable, and a chip (181) electrically connected respectively to the luminous element and the detection contact. The chip detects a voltage difference between the power source and the first connector. A light is emitted by the luminous element passing through the cover to indicate a charging status of the charging device.
