ABSTRACT:
An electronic device (100) includes a housing (104), a substrate (257) seated in the housing (104), and a switch assembly (122) positioned in the housing (104). The switch assembly (122) has a body (200), contact pads (204), and contact arms (202). The contact pads (204) are carried on the substrate (257) and the contact arms (202) are carried on the body (200). The contact arms (202) abut the contact pads (204) and are deflected thereby. Such abutment electrically connects the switch assembly (122) to the substrate (257) without soldering.
