Abstract

A multiconnector for a handheld telephone includes connectors for a SIM card, an internal battery, and a microphone, as well as additional connectors for other external devices. The multiconnector is mounted to a printed circuit board (PCB) in the telephone and makes electrical contact between the connectors and the PCB. Incorporation of all of the connectors into a single, integral multiconnector simplifies manufacturing and reduces the number of components necessary to construct the telephone.
