An assembly for electrically interconnecting a printed circuit board (106) to a flexible circuit carrier (104) includes a retention clip (102) for mechanically pressing the printed circuit board (106) against the flexible circuit carrier (104). The printed circuit board (106) includes a set of locating features (110) which match with locating features (116) located on the flexible circuit (104). A set of retention features (114) match up with side locks (122) located on the retention clip) and maintain the clip (102) engaged to the printed circuit board (106) in a mechanically biased state. The clip (102) also includes alignment apertures (118) for receiving the locating features (110) on the printed circuit board to aid in alignment of the assembly.

Solderless flexible circuit carrier to printed circuit board

A battery cradle (130) is provided for securing a battery (117)within a battery compartment (120). The battery cradle (130) includes a frame member (131) having a cavity (141) to receive the battery (117).
