Abstract
An electronic device includes a circuit supporting substrate (104) capable of being partially flexed at one end, and a housing (100) having a retainer (102) for receiving the circuit supporting substrate into the retainer (102) in a first direction and for securing the circuit supporting substrate (104) within the retainer (102) via fastenerless sliding engagement in a second direction. The retainer (102) includes at least one retaining stop (108) arranged such that the one end of the circuit supporting substrate (104) contacts the at least one retaining stop (108) to partially flex the circuit supporting substrate (104) at the one end while the circuit supporting substrate (104) is received in the retainer (102).
