Housing fastener and power source contact

A selective call receiver, comprising:

• electrical circuits, including:
• a receiver for receiving and demodulating a signal;
• a decoder electrically coupled to the receiver for decoding information contained within the received signal, including a message;
• and
• presenting means electrically coupled to the decoder for presenting the message to a user;
• a power source having at least one terminal for providing power to the electrical circuits;
• a housing having first and second members constructed to cooperatively inter-connect to substantially enclose the electrical circuits, the housing further being adapted to receive and mechanically couple with the power source;
• and
• an electrical contact strip for electrically coupling the electrical circuits and the power source, and for fastening the first and second members of the housing together, the electrical contact strip including a spring indentation mechanically coupled to the at least one terminal of the power source to provide mechanical securing force between the power source and the housing, and the electrical contact strip including a first opening, and the first and second members of the housing including second and third openings, the first, second and third openings being arranged to cooperatively receive a fastener for fastening the first and second members of the housing together.
