Abstract

An interconnect assembly (100) interconnects an accessory (102) to a portable radio (104). The interconnect assembly (100) allows the accessory (102) to be connected to the portable radio (104) through an alignment which is perpendicular to that of the radio assembly alignment. The connector (102) includes a header (136) having spring contacts (154) which mate with narrowly pitched stationary contacts (124) located on the bottom surface (116) of the portable radio (104). The header (136) is able to move within the connector (102) such that it can easily align and connect with the stationary contacts (124).
