Abstract
This application is directed to an electronic device having an overall exterior and electronic components contained therein. The electronic components includes a first electrical connector configured to supply power and/or data to the electronic components and/or to output data signals from the electronic components when the first electrical connector is connected to an external power and/or data connector. The first electrical connector includes first electrical contacts configured in a pattern that is substantially co-planar with a base surface of the electronic components. A base portion of the overall exterior includes a first opening corresponding to a position and size of the first electrical connector in the base surface of the electronic components. The first opening enables the first electrical contacts of the first electrical connector to couple electrically with corresponding electrical contacts of the external power and/or data connector provided at a second surface external to the electronic device.
