ABSTRACT:
An electronic component assembly (102) for an electronic device (100) comprises an electronic component (140), a retainer (142), and an elastomeric connector (144). The electronic device (100) includes a housing (104, 106) and a printed circuit board (PCB) (108) having PCB throughholes (128, 130) and PCB conductive pads (200, 202). The electronic component (140) has a bottom side (146) including substantially planar conductive regions (152, 154) and electrical leads (148, 150) extending therefrom. The retainer (142) positions the elastomeric connector (144) adjacent to the substantially planar conductive pads (152, 154). Electronic component assembly (102) is placed and attached to the PCB (108) by inserting the electrical leads (148, 150) through the PCB throughholes (128, 130) and subsequently clinching the electrical leads (148, 150). When assembled, housing (104, 106) applies a force between the electronic component assembly (102) and the PCB (108) for electrically coupling, via the elastomeric connector (144), the substantially planar conductive regions (152, 154) and the PCB conductive pads (200, 202).
