Abstract

The described embodiments provide devices and methods for creating an electrical connection in an electronic system. The devices and methods include a standoff that connects a circuit element with a circuit board and supports the circuit element at a sufficient height above the circuit board to create an additional layout area. The additional layout area may be utilized to mount additional circuit elements to the circuit board.
