Focused sterilization and sterilized sub-assemblies for analyte monitoring systems

An analyte measurement device, comprising:

• an electronics housing including:
• a shell and a mount secured to the shell during factory assembly to define a sealed interior of the electronics housing;
• one or more flanges on an interior surface of the mount, the one or more flanges extending into the sealed interior of the electronics housing;
• an analyte sensor including a distal portion extending from the electronics housing and configured to measure an analyte level and a proximal portion within the sealed interior of the electronics housing and including a plurality of sensor contacts;
• a circuit board disposed within the sealed interior of the electronics housing;
• and
• a connector assembly within the sealed interior of the electronics housing comprising:
• a plurality of members configured to provide conductive communication between the plurality of sensor contacts of the analyte sensor and the circuit board;
• and
• a connector having a first side opposite a second side, the first side comprising:
• a plurality of pockets configured to receive the plurality of members;
• a channel configured to receive a portion of the proximal portion of the analyte sensor including the plurality of sensor contacts;
• and
• one or more depressions, each configured to receive the one or more corresponding flanges.
