    Abstract: This disclosure describes a portable electronic device that includes an inductive charging receiver for receiving power wireless from a charging device. The portable electronic device includes a device housing including a wall having a channel formed in an interior-facing surface of the wall. The portable electronic device also includes an inductive coil assembly for receiving power wirelessly that is coupled to the interior facing surface. The inductive coil assembly is a flat coil that includes concentric loops of electrically conductive material that define a central opening. A first electrical lead extends away from a peripheral portion of the flat coil and a second electrical lead extends from the central opening, into the channel formed in the back wall and beneath one side of the concentric loops.

    Abstract: A charging assembly for wireless power transfer. In embodiments, the charging assembly comprises a housing, a cap structure, a ferrimagnetic sleeve, an inductive coil, a magnet, a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA), and a four-pin connector extending from a bottom surface of the PCBA. A ridge of the cap structure can be coupled to a lip of the housing. The housing can include a bottom housing surface having an aperture, and a sidewall extending between the bottom housing surface and the lip that extends outward from the sidewall along a perimeter of the housing parallel to the bottom housing surface. The four-pin connector can extend through the aperture of the housing. Some embodiments are directed to a charging device that incorporates the charging assembly.
