Abstract: A connector in an electronic device includes a case, a supporting element, and an elastic element. The case defines a through hole and a plurality of latching portions protruding from an inner surface of the case surrounding the through hole. The latching portions include an engaging surface and a guiding surface adjacent to the engaging surface. The supporting element is partially received in the through hole. The supporting element includes terminal recesses and resisting pieces engaging with the engaging surface. The elastic element is partially received in the supporting element and supplied a resilient force. When the supporting element is moved away from the case, the resisting piece is separated from the engaging surface to make contact with the guiding surface under the resilient force. If reassembly of the connector contacts is not in the predetermined order the electronic device will be locked down.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for providing solder pillar bumps. Pillar bump connections are formed on input/output terminals for integrated circuits by forming a pillar of conductive material using plating of a conductive material over terminals of an integrated circuit. A base portion of the pillar bump has a greater width than an upper portion. A cross-section of the base portion of the pillar bump may make a trapezoidal, rectangular, or sloping shape. Solder material may be formed on the top surface of the pillar. The resulting solder pillar bumps form fine pitch package solder connections that are more reliable than those of the prior art.

Abstract: An anti-data theft structure in an electronic device includes a second cover, a printed circuit board (PCB), a connector, a plurality of terminals, and an elastic element. The PCB includes a first press piece. The connector is rotatably coupled to the second cover and defines a plurality of slots facing PCB.
