Abstract
Systems and methods are described for detachable antennas. A wireless communications device includes: a cam body defining a rotation axis, the cam body including a retaining zone having a snap-fit receptacle; a signal pin including a first signal pin end and a second signal pin end; an antenna conductively coupled to the first signal pin end; a signal clip with a protrusion, a contact pad with a recess, and a key pin that extends from the signal pin, the key pin having a first key pin end and a second key pin end, and being snap-fit into the snap-fit receptacle. The systems and methods provide advantages in that the detachable antenna is easily replaced without tools.
