Abstract

An electronic apparatus comprises a body chassis to which a cabinet is fastened by a screw, the screw is screwed from outside of the cabinet into a boss made of synthetic resin on the body chassis to pass through the boss, the body chassis is provided with a component having a metal surface arranged thereon, and the screw includes a tip opposed to the metal surface of the component. The body chassis is provided with a grounded metal plate arranged thereon, on which a projection intervening between the tip of the screw and the metal surface of the component is formed, the projection includes a through-hole through which the tip of the screw can pass, and the smallest gap length between inner peripheral surface of the through-hole and the screw is set to be smaller than the smallest gap length between the metal surface of the component and the screw.

Claims (4)

1. An electronic apparatus comprising a body chassis to which an exterior cabinet is fastened by a screw, the screw being screwed from outside of the cabinet into a boss made of synthetic resin on the body chassis to pass through the boss, the body chassis being provided with a component having a metal surface arranged thereon, and the screw including a tip opposed to the metal surface of the component, wherein

the body chassis is provided with a grounded metal plate arranged thereon, a projection intervening between the tip of the screw and the metal surface of the component is formed on the grounded metal plate, the projection is provided with a through-hole through which the tip of the screw can pass, and a smallest gap length between inner peripheral surface of the through-hole and the tip of the screw is set to be smaller than a smallest gap length between the metal surface of the component and the tip of the screw.

2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the body chassis is provided with a circuit board including a ground potential part, the component having the metal surface is arranged in a position adjacent to the circuit board, and the metal plate is connected to the ground potential part of the circuit board.

3. An electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the component having the metal surface is an IC card socket, and the metal plate is a partition plate separating the IC card socket and a battery.
