Abstract
A vibrator motor mount for an axisymmetric vibrator is mounted directly on a PCB or other mounting surface and includes a clip for holding the vibrator and a spring type connector. The clip and the vibrator make contact and establish a first electrical connection. The spring type connector makes contact with an end of the vibrator establishing a second electrical connection. The spring type connector and clip are electrically isolated and provide positive and negative electrical contacts for operation of the vibrator. Portions of the vibrator held by the clip and an end of the vibrator that contacts the spring type connector are also electrically isolated and are attached to the internal electronics of the vibrator.
