Abstract
A port may include a connector and an enclosure for the connector. The enclosure may be mounted to a support substrate. The enclosure may include pins that are received within openings in the support substrate. If desired, one or more of the pins may have characteristics that improve retention of the enclosure to the support substrate. If desired, the enclosure may have indents that create a friction fit with the connector. If desired, adhesive may be used to attach the enclosure to the support substrate.
