An electronic device includes a printed circuit board (PCB) with a first conductive element and having a first side opposite a second side. The electronic device includes a wall disposed on the first side of the PCB and having a channel through the wall. The electronic device includes a supporting structure disposed on the second side of the PCB. The electronic device includes a connector which includes an electrically conductive based configured to provide a conductive path between the first conductive element and the channel and also includes a spring structure disposed between the electrically conductive base and the supporting structure.

Connector pin on springs

An apparatus includes a support structure and a leaf spring connector coupled to the support structure. The leaf spring connector has a working height measured from a first surface of the two-sided support structure to a mating surface of the leaf spring connector when the leaf spring connector is in a compressed position. The leaf spring connector is mounted below the first surface of the support structure in order to reduce the working height of the leaf spring connector by at least a portion of a thickness of the support structure.

Under mounted leaf spring connector

An electronic device includes a first component electrically coupled to a second component. The first component and the second component are coupled by the base of a spring loaded connector.

An electronic device including housing having a channel through the housing and a spring loaded connector within the housing is described. The spring loaded connector includes a head disposed in the housing and a surface of the head mates with a surface of the channel.

Spring connector and corresponding guide element

A device includes one or more connectors and receptacles. The connector may include a pair of connector magnets. The connector may also include a pair of connector terminals positioned between the pair of connector magnets. The receptacle may be associated with a user device. The receptacle may include a pair of receptacle magnets that are configured to magnetically couple with the pair of connector magnets when brought within proximity of each other. The receptacle may also include a pair of receptacle terminals positioned between the pair of receptacle magnets that are configured to mate with the pair of connector terminals to form an electrical connection. In this manner, the connector and the receptacle may form an electrical connection when the pair of connector magnets is coupled with the pair of receptacle magnets, thereby mating the pair of connector terminals with the pair of receptacle terminals.
