Abstract
Abstract A contact array (20) for electrically connecting an energy source (10) to a radio (35) and a charger (15), comprising a circuit assembly (40) having integral radio, charger, and circuit package contacts (52, 54, 56) extending from one end of the circuit assembly (40). Terminals (66) extend from a second end of the circuit assembly (40) for connecting to the energy source. A circuit package (60) is disposed adjacent the charger contacts (54) to electrically and mechanically support the contacts.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
140 words
A contact array for electrically connecting an energy source to a radio and a charger comprising; a circuit assembly having a top and four sides; a plurality of integral radio and charger contacts extending from one end of said circuit assembly, said charger contacts having a top side and a bottom side; a circuit package having leads, and being sized and shaped to fit--conformally--adjacent said bottom side of said charger contacts; a plurality of integral circuit package contacts extending from said circuit assembly in the same direction as said radio and charger contacts, said circuit package contacts adapted to engage the leads of said circuit package; at least two terminals extending from a second end of said circuit assembly for connecting to the energy source; and integral means for attaching a component to the top side of said circuit assembly.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
140 words
A contact array for electrically connecting an energy source to a radio and a charger comprising; a circuit assembly having a top and four sides; a plurality of integral radio and charger contacts extending from one end of said circuit assembly, said charger contacts having a top side and a bottom side; a circuit package having leads, and being sized and shaped to fit--conformally--adjacent said bottom side of said charger contacts; a plurality of integral circuit package contacts extending from said circuit assembly in the same direction as said radio and charger contacts, said circuit package contacts adapted to engage the leads of said circuit package; at least two terminals extending from a second end of said circuit assembly for connecting to the energy source; and integral means for attaching a component to the top side of said circuit assembly.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
