Abstract: A power connector for receiving a circuit board in accordance with an exemplary embodiment is provided. The power connector includes first and second walls operably disposed on a first side of a base portion for receiving at least a portion of a circuit board therebetween. The base portion has a second side opposite the first side and a first aperture extending from the second side into the base portion. The first aperture has a first diameter. The power connector further includes at least one electrically conductive pin having both first and second compliant end portions. The first compliant end portion has a second diameter when the first compliant end portion has a non-compressed state, and a third diameter smaller than the second diameter when the first compliant end portion has a compressed state. The second diameter of the first compliant end portion is larger than the first diameter of the first aperture.

Abstract: A snap-fit shield is provided which fits securely within a frame opening, and which shields and grounds the opening while eliminating a need for a complementary connector portion. The shield has an insulative inner housing having a first base wall and a first pair of side walls and end walls extending therefrom defining a first cavity. The shield includes a conductive shell having a second base wall and a second pair of side walls and end walls extending therefrom defining a second cavity. The second pair of side walls and end walls have at least one outward bias positioned thereon. The shield also has an insulative outer housing having a third base wall and a third pair of side walls and end walls extending therefrom defining a third cavity. The outer housing is configured to snap-fit within an opening in a frame so as to shield circuitry internal thereto.
