Abstract
A mobile communication device has a radio contact (110) that has a moveable portion (111) that is located in correspondence with a contact pad (106) of a circuit board of the (104) of the mobile communication device. The moveable portion is biased away form the contact pad. The radio contact is held in place by a boot (116) that is attached to the housing of the mobile communication device. An external connector has a connector contact (206) that has a moveable portion (210) for mating with the moveable portion of the radio contact. As the external connector is attached to the mobile communication device, the connector contact pushes the radio contact until it touches the contact pad, and then the moveable portion of the connector contact move to absorb any further travel of the external connector.
