ABSTRACT:
A digital camera is mounted to a circuit-board in a cellphone. The camera is mounted in a plastic main-body, and is supported therein on a bed of springs, which provides a stable resilient mechanical support. The springs double as connector-strips, being electrically-active connector-strips for conducting electrical signals and services between the component and a circuit-board. The connector-strips are solidly attached to the circuit-board, by being soldered thereto. The main-body is not attached directly to the circuit-board, but rather is attached directly to the connector-strips. These measures ensure that the camera is mechanically isolated from the circuit-board whereby, if the cellphone is dropped or knocked, the inertia of the camera does not damage the circuit board.
