Abstract: The cartridge for the aerosol-generating system includes a housing defining an air inlet and an air outlet and an airflow path defined within the housing. The cartridge includes an atomizer assembly with an aerosol-generating element that is fluid permeable, and two electrical contact portions connected to the aerosol-generating element. The aerosol-generating element has a first side and a second side opposite the first side, wherein the first side of the aerosol-generating element is exposed to the airflow path and the second side of the aerosol-generating element is in contact with a liquid. The cartridge includes the mount that contains the atomizer assembly, where the mount covers a first portion of the first side of the aerosol-generating element to isolate the electrical contact portions from the airflow path, and covers at least a portion of the second side of the aerosol-generating element to isolate the electrical contact portions from the liquid.

Abstract: An aerosol-generating system includes a main body, a cartridge, and a connecting component. The main body includes a main body housing enclosing a power supply. The cartridge includes a cartridge housing enclosing a reservoir of liquid aerosol-forming substrate. The cartridge is releasably connectable to the main body by the connecting component. The connecting component is fixed to the main body housing and is less stiff in at least one direction than the main body housing. The connecting component that is less stiff the main body housing and the cartridge housing can act as a shock absorber when the aerosol-generating system experiences a significant impact, such as when dropped on a surface. This reduces damage to other components of the system and, in particular, may prevent leaks of liquid resulting from damage to the liquid reservoir.
