A digital camera is mounted to a circuit-board in a cellphone. The camera is mounted in a plastic main-body, and is supported therein on a bed of springs, which provides a stable resilient mechanical support. The springs double as connector-strips, being electrically- active connector--strips for conducting electrical signals and services between the component and a circuit-board. The connector-strips are solidly attached to the circuit-board, by being soldered thereto. The main--body is not attached directly to the circuit-board, but rather is attached directly to the connector--strips. These measures ensure that the camera is mechanically isolated from the circuit-board whereby, if the cellphone is dropped or knocked, the inertia of the camera does not damage the circuit board.
La présente concerne un appareil photo numérique monté sur une carte de circuit dans un téléphone portable. L'appareil photo est monté dans un corps principal en plastique et y est soutenu sur un lit de ressorts, qui offre un support mécanique résilient et stable. Les ressorts servent aussi de bandes de connexion électriquement actives pour conduire les signaux électriques et de services entre le composant et la carte de circuit. Les bandes de connexion sont solidement fixées à la carte de circuit par des soudures. Le corps principal n'est pas fixé directement à la carte de circuit, mais est plutôt fixé directement aux bandes de connexion. Cet agencement garantit que l'appareil photo est mécaniquement isolé de la carte de circuit, et si le téléphone tombe ou est heurté, l'inertie de l'appareil photo n'endommagera pas le circuit imprimé.
