Abstract
A device includes a bottom housing that includes a printed circuit board, a processor formed on the printed circuit board, a probe tip coupled to the processor, and a first wall. The first wall includes a front side surface, a backside surface, and an opening extending from the front side surface to the backside surface. The printed circuit board is coupled to the front side surface of the first wall. The printed circuit board includes a plurality of electrical contacts located on the back surface and coupled to the processor. The electrical contacts on the backside surface of the printed circuit board are visible through the opening formed in the first wall of the bottom housing. The electrical contacts are sealed from fluid penetration and can connect to the electrical contacts of a battery connected to the device.
