Abstract: A portable electronic device spring clip including a first retention section adapted to attach the spring clip to a framework; a second retention section adapted to be located at a top side of a metal cover frame of a display module of a portable electronic device; a first contact section adapted to electrically connect to a printed wiring board (PWB); and a second contact section adapted to electrically connect to the metal cover frame of the display module. The spring clip is adapted to electrically connect the metal cover frame of the display module to the PWB. The spring clip is adapted to mechanically retain the display module to the PWB when the framework is connected to the PWB.
