`The device of claim 7, wherein the end piece is configured to expose a portion of the
`
`conductor of the pogo pin.
`
`12.
`
`The device of claim 6, further comprising a second conductive path provided from the
`
`electronics module to the lens housing and a second pogo comprising a conductorthat
`
`formsa portion of the second conductive path.
`
`13.
`
`The device of claim 1, further comprising a second conductive path provided from the
`
`electronics module to the lens housing.
`
`14.
`
`The device of claim 1, wherein the plurality of vertebrae comprises three vertebrae.
`
`15.
