Abstract:
Connector receptacles that may help maintain registration or alignment between a printed circuit board, a connector receptacle, and an opening in a device enclosure. One example may provide a connector receptacle having a housing including a passage. A pin may be placed in the passage such that a first portion extends away from a front of the housing and a rear portion extends away from a rear of the housing. The front portion may be arranged to fit in a cavity or opening in an inside surface of a device enclosure, while the rear portion may be arranged to fit in a cavity or opening in a top surface of a printed circuit board.
