Problems solved by technology

[0007] The curvature and size of these housings can make it difficult for the connector receptacle to fit in the housing
Additionally, the resulting connector sockets can be difficult to assemble
[0008] Additionally, these connector sockets take up space inside electronic equipment
This occupied space may mean that the device may become larger, some functions may be lost, or some compromises may have to be made
