An example electronic communication device is disclosed herein including the following elements. A first component support structure is provided and an antenna structure is mounted on the first component support structure and is configured to communicate wireless radiofrequency signals. A first connector is connected to the antenna structure. A second component support structure is mechanically coupled to the first component support structure and is capable of movement with respect to the first component support structure. Wireless communication circuitry is mounted on the second component support structure and is configured to communicate with the antenna structure using radiofrequency carrier signals. A second connector is connected to the wireless communication circuitry. The first connector and the second connector are mechanically connected and resiliently aligned by magnetic attraction therebetween and are communicatively coupled to communicate the radiofrequency carrier signal between the wireless communication circuitry and the antenna structure. The magnetic force provides the technical benefit of a continuous mutual attractive force to maintain reliable and consistent alignment and contact between the connectors, thereby better maintaining electrical contact. As a result, antenna performance (i.e., efficiency, gain, bandwidth) may be improved and maintained over the lifetime of the electronic communication device.
In another example, one or more of the first connector and the second connector of the electronic communication device includes a respective magnet coated with electrically conductive material.
