Abstract
A sealed, solderless I/O connector for allowing the connection of cables or desk accessories to a mobile communication device while providing a weather tight seal allowing the use of the mobile communication device outdoors. The sealed, solderless I/O connector provides for greater tolerance of mechanical stress due to vibration or dropping because the contact points between the connector and the printed circuit board accomplished with a 'U' shaped spring contact. The sealed, solderless I/O connector also provides a locking mechanism to prevent unintended detachment of the cable or desk accessory.
