Electrical connectors with applicators for electronic devices

A method of attaching an electrical connector to first and second electronic components in an electronic device, wherein the electrical connector has an attached applicator with an extended portion, the method comprising:

• inserting the electrical connector and a portion of the attached applicator into a gap between the first and second electronic components;
• attaching the electrical connector to the first and second electronic components by pinching the first and second electronic components against a common surface of the electrical connector;
• and
• while pinching the first and second electronic components against the common surface of the electrical connector, removing the attached applicator from the electrical connector by pulling the extended portion of the attached applicator.

An electronic device, comprising:

• a first electronic component having a surface;
• a second electronic component having a surface that opposes the surface of the first electronic component;
• and
• an electrical connector comprising a flexible sheet of metal, wherein the flexible sheet of metal is formed entirely of metal and has first and second opposing surfaces, wherein the first surface of the flexible sheet of metal is adhered to the surface of the first electronic component and the opposing surface of the second electronic component, wherein the second surface of the flexible sheet of metal is exposed to air, wherein the flexible sheet of metal includes a first planar portion and a second planar portion and is bent into a U-shape such that the first planar portion overlaps the second planar portion, wherein the electrical connector is mounted in a gap between the first and second electronic components and wherein the gap has a thickness that is less than 1 millimeter.
