Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an electrical connector, and more particularly to an electrical connector equipped with a light guide. [Prior Art] In a computing system, an electrical connector (eg, a dual in-line memory module (DIMM) socket) is typically provided and placed on the motherboard's electrical and mechanical connection extension board (Example: interface panel or memory board of peripheral devices). Sometimes, the illuminating element will be placed next to the electrical connector to provide a visual indication when the extension plate inserted into the electrical connector fails. However, since many motherboards are arranged in a tightly arranged arrangement, the light-emitting elements must be placed very close to or under the electrical connectors. As a result, these illuminating elements are blocked by opaque electrical connectors. Some electrical connectors use a transparent plastic push-out lever. The transparent plastic push-out bar functions as a light guide and allows the technician to view the activation of the light-emitting elements placed next to the electrical connector in the event of a failure of the extension. However, since the high-melting lead-free solder requires a high process temperature, the transparent plastic push-out bar is easily deformed, so that it cannot stand well.

The connector push-out lever is pivotally mounted at least at the first end and the second end and is constructed with an opening, wherein the __light guide extends within the opening and is aligned with a [S] -4- 201104971 The buckle does not light. Usually, after the extension plate is installed, the connector push-out lever should be fixed at the position. However, when the extension panel is installed, the connector is still free to move within an appreciable range, so that the connector may not be able to align with the failure indicator. Since the light pipe will pivot with the connector push-out lever, the light pipe will not always be aligned with the failure indicator. In addition, the light pipe technology described above can only be used in standard DIMM sockets with short memory boards. In computing systems that use high DIMM sockets, the connector push-out bar is often trapped between the high-profile boards, making it difficult for the technician to see the connector in the push-out bar constructed in accordance with the aforementioned light pipe technology. The status of the failure indicator is displayed. Generally, for ease of operation, a card eject mechanism that is different from the connector eject lever used in a standard DIMM socket is designed into the DIMM socket. In this card ejecting mechanism, the connector ejecting rod is often not visible from the outside, so that the light guide of the connector with the aforementioned light pipe technology is not visible. Therefore, an electrical connector that overcomes the above problems and allows the indicator light to be easily observed is highly anticipated. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION One object of the present invention is to provide an electrical connector with a light pipe. This light pipe is not affected by the high temperatures of lead-free soldering and can be illuminated by a status light placed beside or below the high DIMM socket. To achieve the above object, an electrical connector is provided in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

The side edges of the first end portion ηι and the second end portion 112 are each defined by an end wall 114 and two side walls 115. In this case, the corresponding top fastener 12 is received. Each of the top fasteners 12 includes a pair of pivots 121, and the yokes 121 are disposed on respective side surfaces of the top fasteners 12 such that the top fasteners 12 are pivotally movable. Each of the top fasteners 12 further includes a rod portion 22 that is configured to abut the bottom portion 131 of the corresponding pusher member 13. When the force for ejecting the inserted circuit board is applied to the pusher 13, the bottom portion 131 pushes the corresponding rod portion 122 to rotate the top fastener member 12. In the rotating top fastener 12, the top abutting portion 123 is pushed into the insertion edge of the circuit board to withdraw the inserted circuit board. The top fastener 12 further includes a flash lock portion 124 that can be snapped into the circuit board to prevent the inserted circuit board from being accidentally pulled out. Referring to Figures 2 and 3, the status lamp 3 adjacent to the electrical connector 1 is not easily visible due to its high pusher 13. Compared with the height of the pusher member, the top fastener 12 is difficult to be fitted with the state lamp 3 because of its low height, so that the state of light of the state lamp 3 can be easily seen by the technician. Further, each of the top fasteners 12 is placed on the pusher. Below the piece 13, the top fastener 12 is not visible from the outside' so the top fastener 12 cannot be used as a light pipe. A pair of light pipes 4 are provided for the luminaire to be visible to the skilled person. The two light pipes 4 are respectively adjacent to the first end portion m and the second end portion 112 and are erected along the corresponding pushing members. Each light 201104971 The conduit 4 is constructed to optically couple the corresponding status light 3 so that the illumination of the status light 3 can be transmitted through the light pipe 4 to a position near the end of the pusher 13. With this arrangement, the illumination of the status light 3 can be easily viewed by a technician. The status light 3 can be a light emitting diode element. Each of the status lights 3 is constructed to display the status of the board adjacent thereto. For example, when the inserted circuit board fails, the status light 3 can be activated (turned on) to alert the technician. Referring to Figures 4 through 7, the embodiment illustrated herein focuses primarily on the description of the first end 111; however, the same description applies to the second end 112 shown in Figure 3. The light guide 4 disclosed in the present invention comprises an elongated body 41, a support member 42 and a holding member 43. The body 41 is constructed to optically couple with a status light 3 to direct illumination of the status light 3 from one end of the body 41 to the other end. The body 41 is erected adjacent to the first end ill. The body 41 has a support member 42' such that when the body 41 is placed on top of the first end ill, the first end portion 111 can support the light pipe 4 through the support member 42 (as shown in Figures 6 and 7). Referring to Fig. 4, the support member 42 may include a pair of support portions 421, wherein the two support portions 421 extend outwardly opposite to each other in the horizontal direction. Each of the tower members 42 may include a downwardly projecting latch 422 disposed at the end of the corresponding branch portion 42 1 . Correspondingly, the top of the first end portion 111, where the support portion 421 is disposed, may be provided with a matching opening 116 for receiving the corresponding plug 422 after the support member 42 is disposed. In one aspect, the engagement of the latch 422 with the opening 11 可使 allows the light pipe 4 to be properly aligned relative to the first end after installation. Referring again to FIGS. 4 to 7, the holding member 43 may include a pair of engaging portions [S] -8 - 201104971 431, wherein the two engaging portions 431 are constructed to be opposite from the side of the body 41 and opposite to each other Extending, and the two engaging portions 431 extend along the outer edge contour of the first end portion U1 such that the ends of the two engaging portions 43 1 can extend to the corresponding side walls 1丨5. The end of each of the engaging portions 43 1 is provided with a side end 43 11 and a protruding end 4312 at the lateral and opposite positions. According to the embodiment, the protruding end 4312 is disposed at the engaging end. Below 43 11 . Each of the engaging ends 43 11 includes a positioning rib 4313 which projects inwardly from a surface, wherein the surface is adjacent to the first end portion 1 when the light guide tube 4 is disposed. The projecting end 4312 also includes a locating rib 4314 that also projects inwardly from a surface, wherein the surface is adjacent the first end lu when the light pipe 4 is disposed. The two positioning ribs 43 13 and 43 14 are aligned in the vertical direction. Accordingly, each of the side walls 175 has a recess 115, and a recess 115 1 is formed on the surface of the side wall 115, and as shown in Fig. 6, the recess 1151 is sized to receive the corresponding engaging end 4311. In particular, as shown in FIG. 1A, the inner side surface 43 111 of each of the engaging ends 43 n protrudes inward so that the inner side surface 43 111 can be received in the recess 1151 and the upper edge of the engaging end 43 11 The portion of 43 112 can be offset against the top edge of the corresponding recess im, thus preventing the light pipe 4 from being pulled out. Referring to Figures 8 through 10, during the installation of the light pipe 4, when the inner side surface 43111 of the engaging end 4311 contacts the corresponding side wall 115, the pair of engaging portions 43 1 are slightly pushed or deformed. When the engaging end 43 is placed in the corresponding recess 1151, the deformed engaging portion 431 is restored to its original shape. At this time, the inner side surface 43 111 of the engaging end 43 11 will stay in the corresponding recess 丨5丨, and the engaging end 43 11 is limited by one edge defining the recess 1 is 1 (Fig. 9) As shown in 1〇). Therefore, the light pipe 4 cannot be pulled out in the insertion direction or the vertical insertion direction. Referring to FIG. 4, the groove 1152 is formed on each side wall 115 with the corresponding positioning rib 4313, and the groove 1152 is constructed. The corresponding positioning ribs 43 13 and 43 14 are guided. The groove 1152 can be disposed along one side of the recess 115 1 . The recess 1152 can have a leading end 1153 to guide the positioning ribs 4313 and 4314 into the recess 1152. Referring again to Fig. 4, another recess 1154 may be provided on the path in which the projecting end 4312 and the engaging end 4311 are inserted. The recess 11 54 can include a surface that is angled from the top of the first end 111 to the recess 11 1 1 , thereby facilitating insertion. This recess 1154 is arranged such that when the engaging end 4311 passes through the recess 1154, the engaging portion 43 1 is elastically deformable and guided by the recess 1154, and the force required for insertion can be reduced accordingly. In addition, a slot 4315 can be formed at the end of each of the engaging portions 431 such that the engaging end 4311 and the protruding end 4312 can be individually elastically moved. In addition, referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 11, on the end wall 114 of the first end portion 111, a groove 1141 which is disposed upright may be disposed. The recess 1141 is constructed to receive the body 41 of the light pipe 4. The lateral profile of the recess 1141 can cooperate with a cross-section of one of the floor portions 411 of the light pipe 4 such that the body 41 can be partially held by the first end portion 111 when the light pipe 4 is installed. As shown in Fig. 7, in the present embodiment, the support portion 411 has a polygonal cross section. Referring to Fig. 12, the state lamp 3 is disposed adjacent to the first end portion 111 and adjacent to the end wall 114. The body 41 is provided with a vertical reflector 44' near the end of the status light 3. The vertical reflector 44 is constructed to direct the upward illumination of the status light 3 into the body 41. As shown in FIG. 11, the vertical reflector 44 has a shape such as a ridge mirror 201104971 'The vertical reflector 44 includes a flat high gloss surface 441 'where the high gloss surface 441 is horizontally disposed above the status light 3 . On the high gloss surface 441, a plurality of grooving grooves can be formed. A textured inclined surface 442 may be disposed behind the high gloss surface 441, and the textured bevel 442 is constructed to reflect light passing through the high gloss surface 441. On the textured bevel 442, a plurality of grooving grooves can be formed to enhance light reflection. Another texture bevel 443 is disposed below the body 41 and parallel to the texture bevel 442, and the textured bevel 443 is configured to reflect the reflected light from the textured bevel 442 into the body 41. Similarly, a plurality of grooving grooves may be formed in the textured bevel 443. In addition to the two textured bevels 442 and 443, the sides of the vertical reflector 44 and the surface of the body 41 adjacent the vertical reflector 44 can be textured, thereby increasing light reflection efficiency. Referring to Fig. 3, each of the bodies 41 may have a plurality of sections of bent portions 45 for changing the direction of travel of light within the body 41.

In this case, on the k-board, the status light 6 can be as shown in Fig. 14 and Fig. 15 as shown in Fig. 11 and Fig. 15, and is disposed under the first end portion. To collect the lateral illumination of the status light 6, a right angle reflector 46 can be placed on the body 41 near one end of the status light 6. Referring to Figures 16 and 18, the right angle reflector 46 has a surface 461 and a recess 462. The surface 461 faces the status light 6 and the recess 462 is formed on the surface 46. The recess 462 is defined by a plurality of inclined inner surfaces 464, wherein the inner surface 464 can be a high gloss surface. The bottom surface 4111 of the holding portion 411 can also be a high gloss surface to facilitate the introduction of light. The bottom surface 463 of the right angle reflector 46 can be a textured bevel on which a plurality of grooving grooves (shown in Figure 17) can be formed to enhance light reflectivity. The back surface of the right angle reflector 46 and a portion of the surface of the body 41 adjacent to the right angle reflector 46 can be textured, thereby improving light reflection efficiency.
