Abstract

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an electronic apparatus including: a wiring that is formed on a mounting surface; a terminal that is electrically connected with the wiring; a terminal holder that is disposed above the mounting surface to face the wiring and that holds the terminal in a space between the terminal; and a blocking member that is disposed on the terminal holder at a side facing the mounting surface, that surrounds the terminal and that is separated from the mounting surface to regulate a gap between blocking member and the mounting surface so that the terminal is prevented from passing therethrough when the terminal is broken off from the terminal holder.

Claims (34)

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a wiring formed on a mounting surface;

a terminal electrically connected with the wiring;

a terminal holder above the mounting surface facing the wiring configured to hold the terminal in a space between the terminal holder and the mounting surface; and

a separator on the terminal holder facing the mounting surface, surrounding the terminal, and separated from the mounting surface to adjust a space between the separator and the mounting surface so that the terminal is prevented from passing through the space when the terminal comes off from the terminal holder.

2. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the wiring comprises a plurality of wirings, each wiring being separated from one another, and

wherein the terminal comprises a plurality of terminals, each terminal being connected with a corresponding one of the plurality of wirings.

3. The electronic apparatus of claim 2 ,

wherein the terminal holder comprises a plurality of the terminal holders.

4. The electronic apparatus of claim 2 ,

wherein the separator is configured to surround peripheries of each of the plurality of the terminals.

5. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 further comprising:

a housing,

wherein the mounting surface comprises an inner surface of the housing, and

wherein the wiring comprises an antenna pattern-printed along the mounting surface.

6. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a housing that comprises a mounting surface at an inner surface of the housing;

a first wiring formed on the mounting surface;

a second wiring formed on the mounting surface, and separated from the first wiring;

a terminal electrically connected with the first wiring so as to make only the first wiring functional; and

a terminal holder above the mounting surface facing the first wiring configured to hold the terminal.

7. The electronic apparatus of claim 6 ,

wherein the first wiring comprises a plurality of first wirings,

wherein the terminal comprises a plurality of terminals each connected with a corresponding one of the plurality of first wirings to make each of the plurality of wirings functional, and

wherein the terminal holder comprises a plurality of the terminal holders.

8. The electronic apparatus of claim 6 , further comprising:

a separator on the terminal holder facing the mounting surface, surrounding the terminal and separated from the mounting surface to adjust a space between the separator and the mounting surface so that the terminal is prevented from passing through the space when the terminal comes off from the terminal holder.

9. The electronic apparatus of claim 8 ,

wherein the first wiring comprises a plurality of first wirings,

wherein the terminal comprises a plurality of terminals each connected with a corresponding one of the plurality of first wirings to make each of the plurality of wirings functional, and

wherein the separator is configured to surround peripheries of each of the plurality of the terminals.

10. The electronic apparatus of claim 6 ,

wherein the first wiring and the second wiring comprise an antenna pattern-printed along the mounting surface.
