    摘要: Switch assemblies that mitigate stack up variations and methods of making the same are provided. The stack up variations are mitigated by embodiments that use a floating switch design. The floating switch design may eliminate height variations in the stack up by directly mounting an activation assembly to a support bracket. This ensures that the stack up height of the activation assembly and support bracket remain fixed, independent of a flexible printed circuit board (PCB) that may also be secured to the activation assembly. This way, regardless of the thickness of the flexible PCB and any height variations in solder used to secure the flexible PCB to the activation assembly, the stack up height of the activation assembly and support bracket remains fixed.

    摘要: A battery may have a foil battery pack with leads that are coupled to a printed circuit board. Battery protection structures formed from an insulating material such as plastic may be used to protect the foil battery pack. The foil battery pack may have a rectangular shape with front and rear faces surrounded by a rectangular peripheral edge. The battery protection structures may have a ring shape that surrounds the peripheral edge while leaving the front and rear faces exposed to minimize the size of the battery protection structures. An elastomeric material may be used to form the battery protection structures. The elastomeric material may allow the battery protection structures to stretch when the battery pack expands during use. Two shots of plastic may be incorporated into the battery protection structures to provide both puncture resistance and the ability to stretch during use.

    摘要: An electronic device may have electrical components that generate heat. The components may be mounted on a printed circuit board having a peripheral edge with an edge surface. The edge surface may be coated with a layer of metal. Metal traces in the printed circuit board such as ground plane traces may be used to conduct heat from the electrical components to the layer of metal on the edge surface. The edge surface may be separated from an adjacent thermally conductive electronic device housing structure by an air gap. Thermally conductive elastomeric bumper structures may bridge the air gap between the edge surface of the printed circuit and the housing structure. The thermally conductive elastomeric bumper structures may conduct heat from the layer of metal on the edge surface to the housing structure and may serve as a cushioning interface between the printed circuit and the housing structure.

    摘要: Latch mechanism devices for attaching components within a device and methods of use are provided herein. In one aspect, the latch mechanism includes a pair of deflectable members between which a protruding latch member, such as a latch pin, is inserted thereby separating the deflectable members. A latch pin can have a distal insertion portion and a proximal locking portion, the locking portion having a reduced profile so as to resiliently receive the deflectable members displaced by insertion of the latch pin so as to couple the latch pin between the cords. The latch pin can have insertion faces and locking faces angled so as to control the force required to insert and retract the latch pin from the cord pair. The latch mechanism may utilize releasing mechanisms for separating or reducing tension in the deflectable members to facilitate retraction of the latch pin.

    摘要: Printed circuit boards are provided with recess-mounted components. The components may be mounted within recesses in the surface of a printed circuit board substrate that are larger than the component. A solder stencil may be used to mount the components in a recess. The solder stencil may have curved portions between a planar portion and a depressed portion. The difference in the lateral width of the recess and the lateral width of the component may be configured to allow the planar portion and the depressed portion to be placed against the surface of the printed circuit board without damaging edges of the recess during solder application processes. The recess may be formed by placing a dummy component having a size and shape that is larger than the size and shape of the recess-mounted component against a portion of the printed circuit board during board formation operations.
