ABSTRACT:
An electronic circuit assembly, comprising: a printed circuit board 10 having opposed top and bottom surfaces 12/14 and a circuit board edge 16 thereabout, a slot 18 formed in the circuit board edge (wherein the slot has two opposed longitudinal edges 20 and a transverse edge 22), and a plated through-hole 32 formed through the board adjacent the transverse edge 22; and a generally elongate antenna socket 46 having an outer surface 48 thereof, a female electrical connector 54 formed in an outboard end 52 thereof, and a finger 56 formed in and extending from an inboard end 50 thereof. The antenna socket 46 is disposed so as to rest within the slot 18 on the top circuit board surface 12 with the finger 56 extending through the plated through-hole 32. In a preferred embodiment, at least one first solder joint 58 on the bottom circuit board surface 14 connects a respective one of the longitudinal edges 20 of the slot with the adjacent outer surface 48 of the antenna socket 46, while a second solder joint 60 connects the finger 56 with the plated through-hole 32.
