An antenna detent and latching mechanism (,) for coupling to a radiotelephone and mating with a radiotelephone antenna stem (,) is provided. The antenna detent and latching mechanism (,) includes a bottom plate (,) for mounting the mechanism in the radiotelephone, a bearing plate (,) coupled to the bottom plate, a detent follower (,) coupled to the bearing plate (,) and engaging a plurality of detents (,) in the bearing plate (,), and a detent spring (,) coupled to the detent follower (,) and providing force against the detent follower (,). The detent spring (,) is preferably a substantially flat leaf spring. The detent follower (,) preferably has a plurality of detent spring contact surfaces (,). The detent spring (,) may be supplemented with additional detent springs (,).

An electrical module (125) is for mounting upon a circuit board (104). During circuit assembly, the electrical module (125) is placed upon a breakaway portion (117) of the circuit board (104) and a bracket assembly (103) is mounted to the circuit board (104) so as to position the electrical module (125). At the conclusion of circuit assembly, final assembly is initiated and the breakaway portion (117) is removed and the circuit board (104) is mounted into a housing (105). Preferably, the electrical module (125) is in direct contact with the housing (105) so as to maximize heat transfer.

A hang-up cup for a telephone handset is provided having a hang-up cup housing (100) capable of accepting a portion of the telephone handset. A latch member (120) is hinged to the hang-up cup housing (100) by axial prongs (210) of the latch member (120) and curved prong (220) of the hang-up cup housing (100). A straight spring (230) is secured between spring retaining grooves (240) of the latch member (120) and wire support members (250) latch stops (270) are provided to restrict rotation of the latch member (120) about the hinge and prevents separation of the prongs (210, 220) upon excess rotation of the latch member (120) with respect to the hang-up cup housing (100).

A wedge-shaped receptacle for mounting a noise cancelling microphone transducer (105) and a ringer alert transducer (107) within a housing (101) is disclosed. The receptacle (111) is molded from a flexible material providing efficient assembly of the transducers within two apertures in the receptacle (129 and 133). Gaskets (137 and 145), molded as part of the receptacle, provide an acoustic and weatherproof seal between the receptacle (111) and the housing (101) for each transducer. The two apertures (129 and 133), providing acoustic interface for the ringer alert transducer (107) and the microphone transducer (105), share the same opening (113) in the front face of the housing (101). The aperture (133) for the noise cancelling microphone (105) is also open to a second opening (115) in the bottom face of the housing (101) to cancel background noise. The receptacle includes channels (201 and 202) which allow back pressure release for the ringer alert transducer (107 ). The receptacle (111) also dresses the microphone wires (141) through another aperture (131) to prevent damage during the assembly of the receptacle (111) into the housing (101).
