ABSTRACT:
A housing (202, 602) for an electronic device (700) comprises a battery compartment door (604) having a one-piece molded latch (100). The latch (100) comprises a slide member (102) coupled to a snap member (104) formed substantially in the shape of a U. The snap member (104) comprises a mounting end (106) forming the bottom of the U, and two snap arms (108) forming the two sides of the U. The snap member (104) is supported at a distance from the slide member (102), the distance being sufficient to clear walls of the housing (202). The latch (100) further comprises a header block (112) coupled to the slide member (102) between the two snap arms (108) for minimizing deflection of the two snap arms (108) towards the slide member (102) during assembly of the latch (100).
