Abstract

Electronic devices are disclosed that include a housing and a display coupled to the housing by an adhesive. The display includes an antenna component. The device includes a casing coupled to the display, a circuit board positioned within the housing, a wireless communication component coupled to the circuit board. The device includes a receptacle connector coupled to the housing and an electrical contact electrically coupled to the wireless communication component. The device further includes a plug connector that electrically connects the antenna component to the wireless communication component. The plug connector includes a first portion electrically coupled to the antenna component, positioned within the casing and translatable within the casing along a first axis orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of the first portion. The plug connector includes a second portion electrically coupled to the first portion, extending into the receptacle connector and contacting the electrical contact of the receptacle connector.
