Systems and methods for securing electrical receptacles in a user device

摘要

This disclosure relates to systems and methods for securing a port component of a user that receives a connection component to a remote device. The port component may be secured by a docking component that may include compressible features that apply a force to the port component to insure proper alignment or orientation to receive the connection component.

主权项

1. A system, comprising:
an electrical component receptacle comprising an opening to secure a connector for a remote device that enables electrical communication with the system; a docking component comprising a recessed area with four walls, wherein each wall of the four walls is a continuous wall; a receptacle housing comprising a mating portion, wherein the mating portion includes four surfaces, wherein each of the four surfaces is parallel to a corresponding wall of the four walls of the recessed area; a printed circuit board coupled to the receptacle housing, the printed circuit board being in electrical contact with the electrical component receptacle and being electrically coupled to the system; and one or more compressible pads that are compressed between the printed circuit board and the system, the one or more compressible pads comprising conductive material that enables electrical grounding of the printed circuit board via the system; wherein the recessed area is configured to receive the mating surface portion of the receptacle housing, and wherein each of the four walls of the recessed area are in contact with the mating portion of the receptacle housing; and one or more compressible components extending, from one of the four walls, in the recessed area, the one or more compressible components configured to: secure the receptacle housing in one or more directions of movement by applying pressure against the mating portion of the receptacle housing.
