Abstract
An imaging system includes a housing, circuitry within the housing, and a connector coupled to the circuitry and extending from the housing for electrical and mechanical connection with a personal electronic device. The connector can be secured to the housing using a connector support that is resilient and flexible. The connector can be electrically coupled to a main printed circuit board assembly using a flexible circuit. The resilient connector support can be configured to allow movement of the connector relative to the housing. The flexible circuit is configured to maintain electrical connection to the main printed circuit board assembly when the connector moves relative to the housing. The imaging system can be a thermal imaging system and may include an infrared camera core.
