Abstract

An electronic device is described, for a timepiece of electronic or electromechanical type, comprising a source of electrical power (4), such as a battery, an electronic circuit (3) and an electrical connector tongue (5) effecting an electrical connection between the source of electrical power and the electronic circuit. The electrical connector tongue (5) has first and second openings (55, 56) cooperating with a pair of fixing pins (25, 26) fixed to a support (2) of the said device, and further comprises a section (57) formed between the said openings (55, 56) and adapted to deform in an elastic manner so as to alter the spacing between the openings (55, 56) and allow engagement and retention of the electrical connector tongue (5) on the fixing pins (25, 26).
