Abstract

According to various embodiments, an electronic device includes a first electronic component, a second electronic component electrically connected to the first electronic component, and a conductive electric connection device disposed to electrically connect the second component and the first electronic component to each other. The electric connection device may include a first member fixed to the first electronic component, a second member formed to extend upward from the first member, and a third member formed to extend from the second member to be substantially parallel to a direction of overlapping with the first member. The second electronic component may be interposed in a space between the first member and the second member to be electrically connected to at least two areas of the second electronic component. Various other embodiments may be made.

First claim

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first electronic component includes a metal member disposed in the electronic device.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first electronic component includes a recess configured to seat the first member therein.

4. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the first member is fixed by a conductive adhesive member disposed in at least a partial region of the recess.

5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the conductive adhesive member includes a conductive bonding member or a conductive tape.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the second electronic component includes a board (a PCB or an FPCB) electrically connected to the first electronic component.

7. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein each of the first member and the third member comes in physical contact with a conductive exposure portion where a Solder Resist (SR) layer is removed from each of first and second faces of the board.

8. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the board includes a via formed on the conductive exposure portion of the first face to the conductive exposure portion of the second face such that the conductive exposure portions are electronically connected to each other.

9. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein a first conductive adhesive member is disposed between the board and the first member at the conductive exposure portion of the second face, and a second conductive adhesive member is disposed between the board and the third member at the conductive exposure portion of the first face.

10. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the conductive adhesive members include a conductive bonding member or a conductive tape.

11. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the conductive member further includes a fourth member that extends from the first member and is integrally connected with the third member, and
the fourth member is in contact with a third electronic component to be electrically connected to the third electronic component.

12. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the third electronic component includes a metal housing of the electronic device.

13. The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the third member is in compressive contact with the second electronic component by a compressive force of the metal housing.

14. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first electronic component or the second electronic component include at least one of a Flexible Printed Circuit Board (FPCB), a PCB, and a metal housing.

15. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the cable is an RF cable, and when the RF cable is restrained through the cable clamp, the RF cable and the conductive member share a ground (GND).

16. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the conductive member is used as a partition of a third electronic component disposed therearound.

17. The electronic device of claim 16 , wherein the third electronic component includes a battery pack.

18. An electric device comprising: a housing comprising a first plate and a second plate faced away from the first plate; a metal member interposed between the first plate and the second plate; a printed circuit board; and a conductive member disposed to be electrically connected to the printed circuit board and the metal member, the conductive member comprising: a first member fixed to the metal member: a second member formed to extend upward from the first member; and a third member formed to extend from the second member to be substantially parallel with the first member, wherein the first member or the third member is provided with a cable clamp configured to restrain a cable, and wherein the printed circuit board is interposed in a space between the first member and the third member to be securely fixed to the conductive member such that the printed circuit board is electrically connected to the metal member via at least two areas of the conductive member.

19. The electric device of claim 18 , further comprising a fourth member that extends from the first member and is integrally connected with the third member,
wherein the fourth member is in contact with the first plate so as to be electrically connected to the first plate.
