ABSTRACT:
A connector (40) for insertion into a portable electronic device (30) provides testing, programming and power thereto. The portable electronic device (30) has a chassis (32) housed therein and further includes a battery cavity (35) with battery contacts (36) therein. The connector (40) has a distal end for contacting the chassis (32) through an access port (34) in the battery cavity (35). A proximal end of the connector (40) is adapted for connection to a cable. The connector (40) has a substrate (50) attached to a printed wire board (41), wherein the printed wire board (41) further comprises a first plurality of conductors (52) thereon for receiving data signals from the cable, and a second plurality of conductors (42) thereon for receiving power signals from the cable. A first plurality of contacts (48) are coupled to the first plurality of conductors (52) at the distal end of the connector (40) for contacting the chassis, and a second plurality of contacts (46) are coupled to the second plurality of conductors (42) at the distal end of the connector (40) for contacting the battery contacts.
