摘要： Devices and methods for assembling a connector are provided herein. In one aspect, an example method of assembly includes positioning an insert frame having an applicator portion supporting electrode contacts within an enclosure; attaching the electrode contacts to a circuit board substrate within the enclosure; forming an underfill layer by injecting a hardenable fluid medium through the applicator portion to fill a semi-confined space between the insert frame and the circuit board substrate; and detaching the applicator portion and applying an overmold. The applicator portion includes one or more lumens extending from an inlet opening to one or more exit openings to facilitate flow of fluid medium to desired locations. The inlet opening may be disposed on a portion of the applicator extending above the insert frame and have a diameter substantially larger than the exit opening to allow for fluid injection using an oversized injection nozzle.

摘要： A retention latch mechanism having a retention spring of a first connector engageable with a retention feature of a second connector. The retention spring may include a spring arm having a distal, curved retaining portion that is resiliently received within the retention feature and a reinforced portion that is proximal of the distal retaining portion. The reinforced portion includes a layer having residual compressive stress to inhibit fatigue failure during repeated cycling of the latch mechanism. The reinforced portion may be formed by a cold working method, such as shot peening a select region of the spring arm. The reinforced portion is formed to inhibit fatigue failure during repeated cycling of the latch mechanism. Methods of forming a retention mechanism having a retention spring with a reinforced portion are provided herein.

摘要： A retention latch mechanism having corresponding retention features and stress reducing members is provided herein. In an exemplary embodiment, the retention latch mechanism comprises a pair of spring arm retention features of a receptacle engageable with a corresponding pair of recessed retention features of an insertable tab and one or more backup spring members for reducing stress within the spring arms during insertion of the tab into the receptacle. The backup spring may be positioned adjacent an outward facing surface such that outward lateral deflection of the spring arms deflects the backup spring thereby reducing force within the spring arm. The backup spring may include any or all of a bent portion of an associated bracket or arm member, a wire, a loop, a complementary spring arm, dual backup springs, elastomeric members and self-lubricating members. Methods of providing retention of a tab within a receptacle are also provided herein.

摘要： Apparatus, systems and methods for increasing the strength of glass are disclosed. The use of multi-bath chemical processing for a glass article can facilitate controlled chemical strengthening. Through multi-bath (or multi-step) chemical processing, differing levels of strengthening can be achieved for different portion of glass articles. The multi-bath chemical processing can be achieved through the use of successive chemical baths. Accordingly, glass articles that have undergone multi-bath chemical processing are able to be not only thin but also sufficiently strong and resistant to damage. The strengthened glass articles are well suited for use in consumer products, such as consumer electronic devices (e.g., portable electronic devices). In one embodiment, the glass member can pertain to a glass cover for a housing of an electronic device.
