Abstract
Connector receptacles that may have a reduced height when combined with a printed circuit board and reduce wasted space inside an electronic device. One example may provide a connector receptacle that fits in an opening in a printed circuit board. The connector receptacle may also be angled at an oblique angle relative to the printed circuit board such that its face may be flush with a highly stylized device enclosure.
