Apparatus including housing, power source, and coupler

Abstract

An apparatus including a housing, circuitry at least partially within the housing, a power source including first and second terminals, first and second electrically conductive leads, and a coupler. The first and second electrically conductive leads may be connected electrically to the first and second terminals, respectively, of the power source. The coupler may be attached to the power source. At least a portion of the housing may extend into the coupler. The coupler may include one or more openings through which the first and second electrically conductive leads are capable of being laser welded to first and second contact pads, respectively, of the circuitry. A method for manufacturing the apparatus may include laser welding the first and second electrically conductive leads to the first and second contact pads, respectively, of the circuitry through the one or more openings of the coupler.
