Abstract
An assembly, comprising: a circuit board; a electrical connector mounted to a circuit board; and a counterweight mounted to the circuit board, wherein the counterweight contacts a first major surface of the circuit board, a center of gravity of the electrical connector is not situated in a plane that perpendicularly intersects the first major surface, a combined center of gravity of the electrical connector and the counterweight is situated in a plane that perpendicularly intersects the first major surface, the counterweight arches over an outer circumference of the electrical connector.

An assembly, comprising:
- a circuit board;
- an electrical connector mounted to said circuit board;
- and
- a counterweight mounted to said circuit board, wherein
- said counterweight contacts a first major surface of said circuit board,
- a center of gravity of said electrical connector is not situated in a plane that perpendicularly intersects said first major surface and a longitudinal axis of said electrical connector,
- a combined center of gravity of said electrical connector and said counterweight is situated in a plane that perpendicularly intersects said first major surface and said longitudinal axis of said electrical connector,
- said counterweight arches over an outer circumference of said electrical connector, and
- at least 70% of said counterweight by weight is situated exterior of said electrical connector.
An assembly, comprising:
- a circuit board;
- an electrical connector mounted to a circuit board;
- and
- a counterweight mounted to said circuit board, wherein
- said counterweight contacts a major surface of said circuit board,
- a portion of said electrical connector is situated intermediate said counterweight and said circuit board,
- when said major surface of said circuit board is arranged horizontally, a first straight line through a center of gravity of said electrical connector in a direction of gravity does not intersect said major surface,
- when said major surface is arranged horizontally, a second straight line in said direction of gravity through a combined center of gravity of said electrical connector and said counterweight intersects said major surface, and
- a percentage of said counterweight by weight is situated exterior of said electrical connector, where said percentage is selected from the group consisting of at least 50%, at least 70% and at least 80%.
An assembly, comprising:
