Abstract

A stacked multi port connector with the light-emitting element is described. The stacked multi port connector with the light-emitting element has a transmission module, having an adapting device, a positioning set, a frontal cover and a plurality of light-emitting elements, wherein the adapting device comprises a terminal set having a plurality of signal output terminals penetrating there-through. The positioning set is positioned at a bottom face of the adapting device. The positioning set comprises a plurality of through holes and a plurality of signal input terminals penetrating there-through. The frontal cover comprises a plurality of slots formed on a surface thereon and a plurality of receiving spaces for positioning the light-emitting elements. A plurality of protrusions is formed on two sides of a bottom flange, and wherein the frontal cover covers an outer portion of the adapting device. The signal output terminals of adapting advice are positioned between said protrusions of the frontal cover and signal input terminals of said back cover. A case covers the transmission module.

Claims
