    Abstract: An electronic device has circuitry mounted within an electronic device housing. The electronic device housing may have housing walls such as metal sidewalls. Openings are formed in an electronic device housing wall to accommodate buttons. A button may have a switch with a switch housing mounted to the housing wall. A movable button member that extends from the switch housing may protrude through a housing opening. Switch terminals are coupled to signal lines on structures such as flexible printed circuits. The switch terminals may be formed from portions of elongated switch leads supported by support structure that are mounted to the housing wall or may be formed on an inner surface of the switch housing. Support structures may be molded into engagement with features on a housing wall or may be mounted to a housing wall using a fastener such as a screw.

    Abstract: Examples of electronic components and printed circuit board assemblies which may be configured for directional heat transport are described herein. A circuit board assembly according to the examples herein may include a plurality of stacked planar layers, including a signal layer with a plurality of signal traces, a ground layer separated from the signal layer using an insulating layer, and a plurality of heat sink traces extending from the ground layer through at least a portion of the thickness of the insulating layer, each of the plurality of heat sink traces being electrically insulated from the signal traces and coupled to ground. The circuit board assembly may further include one or more electronic components electrically coupled to the signal layer using one or more of the signal traces, with the heat sink traces arranged around the one or more electronic components such that heat is selectively directed from one location of the board (e.g. a heat source, or hotter one of a plurality of components) to another location of the board (e.g. a perimeter of the board, or off the board).

    Abstract: Protection structures may be provided to protect connectors, printed circuits, and other internal device components from damage. Components may shift within a device if the device is unexpectedly dropped. Protection structures can shield printed circuit connectors and other structures so that component movement during a drop event does not dislodge a printed circuit connector or otherwise damage a device. A cowling can be used to hold a board-to-board connector or other connector together. The cowling may have a protruding portion that is bent to form a protective wall. Plastic structures may be molded onto the cowling to form protective walls. Protection structures for printed circuit connectors and other internal device components may be formed from spring-based structures that clip onto the edge of a printed circuit board.

    Abstract translation: 可以提供保护结构以保护连接器，印刷电路和其他内部装置部件免受损坏。 如果设备意外掉落，组件可能在设备内移动。 保护结构可以屏蔽印刷电路连接器和其他结构，使得在跌落事件期间的部件移动不会移除印刷电路连接器或以其他方式损坏设备。 整流罩可用于将板对板连接器或其他连接器固定在一起。 整流罩可以具有弯曲以形成保护壁的突出部分。 塑料结构可以模塑到整流罩上以形成保护壁。 印刷电路连接器和其他内部器件部件的保护结构可以由夹在印刷电路板的边缘上的基于弹簧的结构形成。

    Abstract: Slide switch assemblies with structural enhancements are provided for use in electronic devices. Slide switch assemblies in accordance with embodiments the invention can include a button, an engagement member, and switch box. The engagement member couples the button to the switch box and translates any movement of the button to the switch box. The switch box is mounted offset with respect to the button because another component such as, for example, a display screen occupies the space that would have been a better mounting position for the switch box. To compensate for the offset, and the added torsion that is applied to the engagement member during button movement events, the engagement member is structurally enhanced.

    Abstract: A portable electronic device may include a housing member defining a side surface of the portable electronic device, a portion of the housing member defining a side wall of a hole extending through the housing member, a button member positioned along the side surface and defining a chassis portion and a hollow post extending into the hole defined through the housing member, and a first waterproof seal defined between the hollow post and the side wall of the hole. The portable electronic device may also include a biometric sensing component coupled to the chassis portion, a flexible circuit element extending through the hollow post and conductively coupling the biometric sensing component to a component within the housing, and a second waterproof seal defined within the hollow post.
