Removable radio bezel connector

摘要

The bezel connector for an electronic device in a vehicle, such as a radio, having a removable bezel. The bezel connector has a support member that is removably attached to the radio housing, and along with the other components of the connector form a removable module. The support member supports a PC board, which has connector pins protruding therefrom in spaced relationship. The connector pins are rigid and protrude from the PC board in a cantilever fashion. Also movably supported by the support member is a cover member having an electrically conducting portion. The cover member includes holes aligned with the connector pins to thereby shield and support the connector pins. Grounding springs bias the cover member in a position which selectively shields the connector pins and also provides an electrical connection between the cover member and the radio housing to discharge any static electricity charge that may be imparted to the cover member.
