PLUG CONNECTOR HAVING A LOW PROFILE AND RESILIENT FLANGE

Abstract:

A low profile plug connector assembly is adapted for use in an accessory for an electronic device and includes a plug connector coupled to a thin and resilient flange. The flange is formed to match a curvature of a portion of the accessory and provides a resilient yet flexible structure for the plug connector that allows the plug connector to move during mating and demating. The low profile structure consumes minimal space and enables the accessory to have an aesthetically appealing appearance.
