Abstract

See full text

The present invention is a docking interface for portable electronic devices that feature at least a printed circuit board (PCB) contact and a set of spring loaded contact pins for facilitating the recharging of power source and transfer of data between the devices and their hosts. Because of the thickness of a PCB and the retraction of the spring loaded pins, the overall profile of the present invention is reduced to a minimum. At the same time, the reliability of the contact between the portable device and the docking station is assured. As such, the present invention offers an economical and reliable solution for docking interface in portable electronic devices that permit further reduction in size and weight without imposing constraints on the availability of increased functionality.
