Patent attributes
An ergonomic electrical connector and circuit indicator that facilitates the establishment of electrical connections between a motor vehicle and a towed trailer. The connector body has a first end portion configured appropriately for engaging a vehicle connector socket or plug. A second end portion of the connector defines an upwardly curved and expanded cylindrical section that presents an open connector face with an array of electrical connections and an associated array of LED indicators. The upward orientation eliminates the need for the user to work with the horizontal connector face at ground level and provides easy access to each of the terminals to which trailer wires are attached. The aligned LED indicators are each associated with a particular electrical terminal. The LED indicators therefore provide an identification of a particular circuit and the operational functionality of that circuit.
