  • Patent number: 6386891
    Abstract: A multiport assembly has an electrical circuit board that floats within an enclosure assembly, thereby reducing the tolerance variation and providing a multiport assembly that is easy to assemble. The enclosure assembly has a first housing cover that has a first plurality of recesses and a second housing cover that has a second plurality of recesses. The second housing cover mates with the first housing cover, thereby creating the enclosure assembly. A plurality of openings are formed in the enclosure assembly by the alignment of the first plurality of recesses with the second plurality of recesses when the first and second housing covers are mated. Brass shells are connected to the electrical circuit board that is disposed within the enclosure assembly. Each shell extends through one of the plurality of openings in the enclosure assembly for supporting the electrical circuit board in a position spaced from the enclosure assembly so that the electrical circuit board floats within the enclosure assembly.
