Terminal and mobile terminal apparatus
View Patent ↗A terminal is formed by plating a terminal substrate in which a first material capable of being plated and a second material incapable of being plated are two-color molded. For example, by two-color molding an ABD resin and a PC resin to form a terminal substrate and plating the terminal substrate, a terminal having a conductive part corresponding to the ABS resin and a nonconductive part corresponding to the PC resin is obtained.
1. A mobile terminal apparatus comprising:
a housing with an opening section formed at a position corresponding to a position of a terminal for charging a battery;
a cover that has a through hole formed to correspond to the position of the terminal and covers the battery housed in the housing;
a watertight member that closes a gap between the housing and the opening section, wherein
the terminal is fitted into the opening section of the housing,
the terminal is formed by plating a terminal substrate in which a first material having a property to be adhered with a plating and a second material having a property to be not adhered with a plating are two-color molded, and
a part of the terminal formed with the first material is exposed toward the outside of the housing through the opening section and the through hole.
2. The mobile terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the watertight member is an O-ring that surrounds the part of the terminal exposed in the opening.
3. The mobile terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal includes a contact for charging the battery and a contact for a vibrator for causing vibration.
