A cooling apparatus for an electrical component housing includes a fin configured to attach to the electrical component housing so as to conduct heat and cool the electrical component housing. The fin includes a first longitudinal portion and a second longitudinal portion, a first end, and a second end portion connecting the first and second longitudinal portions at a second end, the first longitudinal portion and the second longitudinal portion being disposed at a predetermined siatnce from each other at the first end, and the second end portion having a width that is greater than the predetermined distance.

A printed circuit board assembly includes a printed circuit board, with a first side and a second side and at least one opening formed therebetween. The opening has a slug at least partially disposed therein and attached to the first side. The second side of the circuit board has a hot component positioned thereon and overlying the opening. A solder joint is formed between the slug and the hot component to allow dissipation of heat from the hot component.

An approach for connection of an antenna employs an antenna including at least one antenna contact; a swivel collar slidably coupleable with the antenna and including at least one collar contact; and an antenna coupler/connector insertable into the swivel collar. The approach may also be characterized as involving moving an antenna by sliding the antenna within a swivel collar, moving an antenna contact at an end of the antenna away from a swivel contact in the swivel collar; and inserting an antenna coupler/connector into the swivel collar including contacting the collar contact with a contact pad on the antenna coupler/connector. An alternative the approach may have an antenna including at least one antenna contact; a swivel collar slidably coupleable with the antenna and including at least one collar contact; a cavity enveloping the antenna when the at least one antenna contact is displaced away from the at least one collar contact, and a spring interposed between the basal end of the antenna and a basal end of the cavity for moving the antenna when the at least one antenna contact is not displaced away from the at least one collar contact.

An approach for connection of an antenna employs an antenna including at least one antenna contact; an antenna collar slidably coupleable with the antenna and including at least one antenna feedpoint; and an antenna coupler/connector insertable into the antenna collar. The approach may also be characterized as involving moving an antenna by sliding the antenna within an antenna collar, moving an antenna contact at an end of the antenna away from an antenna feedpoint in the antenna collar; and inserting an antenna coupler/connector into the antenna collar including contacting the antenna feedpoint with a contact pad on the antenna coupler/connector. As an alternative the approach of the present invention may have an antenna including at least one antenna contact; an antenna collar slidably coupleable with the antenna and including at least one antenna feedpoint; a cavity enveloping the antenna when the at least one antenna contact is displaced away from the at least one antenna feedpoint; and a spring interposed between the basal end of the antenna and a basal end of the cavity for moving the antenna when the at least one antenna contact is not displaced away from the at least one antenna feedpoint.
