Abstract: Presented is a detachable module connector comprising a main body with a first section, a second section, and a first opening extending through the first section and the second section, wherein the inner dimensions of the opening in the first section are different from the inner dimensions of the opening in the second section and the opening in the first section is sized to fit around a printed circuit board. The detachable connector is used to couple an electronic module that includes a printed circuit board to a host device. Also presented is a method of building a module using this detachable connector. The detachable connector simplifies the module manufacturing process because the module does not involve the costly hand-soldering and pcb-turning steps of the conventional methods.
