Charging connection device with illumination and associated methods
First Claim
1. A charging connection device comprising:
- a device connector configured to be coupled to a rechargeable electronic device;
a circuit board coupled to the connector and including charging circuitry and an associated light source thereon;
a housing enclosing the circuit board and including a first end comprising a lens, the connector extending from the first end, and one side of the housing including at least one opening therein to transmit light from the light source and indicate right-side-up;
a touch switch carried by the housing, coupled to the circuit board, and configured to activate the light source; and
a power source connector coupled to the circuit board and associated with a second end of the housing.

Abstract
A charging connection device includes a device connector configured to be coupled to a rechargeable electronic device, and a circuit board coupled to the connector and including charging circuitry and an associated light source, such as a light emitting diode (LED), thereon. A housing encloses the circuit board and includes a first end comprising a lens, with the connector extending from the first end. A touch switch, such as touch plates, is on the housing, coupled to the circuit board, and configured to activate the light source. A power source connector is coupled to the circuit board and associated with a second end of the housing. One of the touch plates and/or one side of the housing may include at least one opening therein to transmit light from the light source and indicate right-side-up.
