Method and apparatus for efficient manufacture of high performance electronic device with cabled interconnects

Abstract

A subassembly for efficiently and reliably assembling a high performance electronic device. The electronic device may include numerous cabled interconnects in a subassembly that is subsequently mechanically and electrically connected to a PCB populated with high performance electronic components. First ends of cables in the cabled interconnects may be terminated by a first type of connector configured for connection to the PCB via a downward force. The second ends of the cables may be terminated with a second type of connectors that may make connections to other portions of an electronic system incorporating the electronic device. The connectors at the first ends of the cables may be releasably held within an organizer. The connectors may be simply mounted to the PCB by positioning the organizer with respect to the PCB, releasing the connectors from the organizer, and pushing the connectors into engagement with mounting locations on the PCB.
