Abstract:
A low-profile electrical connector that can be coupled to an electronic device without significantly increasing the effective size of the electronic device. When coupled to a compatible mating connector on the electronic device, the electrical connector does not extend significantly beyond the footprint of the electronic device or increase the thickness of the electronic device. Conductors in the electrical connector that electrically couple to contacts in the mating connector are routed to exit the electrical connector on a different side than the side opposite the mating connector.
