Abstract: A method and apparatus relating to an interconnection system configured for a portable electronic device. The interconnection system includes an interface connector having a power port configured to be positioned at a peripheral portion of the portable electronic device. The interconnection system is directed to a latching contact mechanism that provides both electrical engagement and a latching mechanism between a power connector and the interface connector disposed in the portable electronic device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving the co-planarity between conductive structures exposed in an interface connector for a portable electronic device. The interface connector includes an elongate housing having a front surface and a bottom surface. The front surface is configured to be at least partially exposed at a peripheral portion of the portable electronic device. The front surface defines port openings in the elongate housing and the bottom surface defines plate openings therein. The plate openings are configured to receive and retain conductive structures and are configured to be at least partially exposed at the bottom surface of the elongate housing and at least partially exposed at the port openings to provide electrical interconnection to the portable electronic device. With this arrangement, the conductive structures in the interface connector are substantially co-planar with each other to provide improved and more reliable electrical interconnection with the portable electronic device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a cable connector configured for high frequency signal transmission. The cable connector includes a printed circuit board (nullPCBnull), at least one conductive cable and a shield structure. The PCB includes a first side with a plurality of conductive traces formed thereon, each trace having a first end and a second end, and a second side with a shield layer formed thereon. The at least one conductive cable includes a plurality of conductive wires with one end of each wire being electrically connected to the first end of one of the plurality of conductive traces. The shield structure is mounted over the first side of the PCB to provide shielding and is connected to a portion of the at least one conductive cable. The shield structure further includes grounding contacts that are coupled to a portion of the first side of the PCB and to the shield layer.
