Abstract

An electronic device includes a casing that includes a first part and a second part. The electronic device also includes a shield part as well as a printed circuit board that is placed between the shield part and the first part of the casing. The electronic device also includes at least one connecting element that is connected to the printed circuit board. The connecting element includes a connecting head that cooperates with a complementary fastener that is formed on the shield part so that the connecting element is fixed on the shield part.

Claims (23)

1 . An electronic device comprising:

a casing comprising a first part and a second part;

a shield part;

a printed circuit board placed between the shield part and the first part of the casing; and

at least one connecting element connected to the printed circuit board,

wherein the connecting element comprises a connecting head cooperating with a complementary fastening means formed on the shield part, in such a way that the connecting element is fixed on the shield part,

wherein the complementary fastening means comprises a protruding part protruding from a surface of the shield part,

wherein the protruding part comprises an opening, and

wherein the connecting head of the connecting element comprises a tab configured to be inserted in the opening to fix the connecting element on the shield part by a snap-in cooperation.

2 . The electronic device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the shield part comprises a connecting opening configured to connect the connecting element to a connector part of the printed circuit board,

wherein the connector part extends through the connecting opening and allows the connection to the connecting element.

3 . The electronic device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the shield part and the printed circuit board are screwed to the first part of the casing.

4 . The electronic device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second part of the casing is attached to the first part of the casing in such a way that the casing houses the shield part and the printed circuit board.

5 . The electronic device according to claim 1 ,

further comprising a second shield part,

wherein the second shield part is placed between the printed circuit board and the first part of the casing.

6 . The electronic device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the connecting element comprises a power connector and a data transmission connector.

7 . The electronic device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the power connector and the data transmission connector are arranged so as to be wound around each other.
