Abstract

According to one embodiment, an electronic device is provided with: an electronic substrate on which electronic components are provided; a screw including a screw head portion and a threaded portion, and configured to be engaged to the electronic substrate; a conducting member provided between the screw head portion and the electronic substrate and configured to electrically connect the screw head portion and the electronic substrate; and an electrical wiring line provided between the screw head portion and the electronic substrate and configured so as not to be electrically connected to the screw head portion.

Claims (34)

1. An electronic device comprising:

an electronic substrate on which electronic components are provided;

a screw including a screw head portion and a threaded portion, and configured to be engaged to the electronic substrate by inserting the threaded portion into a screw fastening hole provided in the electronic substrate;

a conducting member provided between the screw head portion and the electronic substrate and configured to electrically connect the screw head portion and the electronic substrate;

a mark member formed in an under-screw-head region on a surface of the electronic substrate around the screw fastening hole as a conductive pattern, the mark member configured for use in testing or positioning of the electronic substrate; and

an electrical wiring line provided between the screw head portion and the electronic substrate and configured so as not to be electrically connected to the screw head portion.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the screw is configured to be fixed by engaging the threaded portion with the electronic substrate.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the screw is configured to be grounded by the conducting member.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the conducting member is configured to be mechanically fixed to a portion of the electronic substrate.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the screw head portion is configured to be supported by the conducting member.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the electrical wiring line is configured so as not to be electrically connected to the conducting member.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the electrical wiring line is configured to be separated from the screw head portion.

8. The device of claim 1 , wherein the conducting member is provided on the electronic substrate.

9. The device of claim 1 , wherein the conducting member includes a solder component.

10. An electronic device comprising:

an electronic substrate on which electronic components are provided;

a screw including a screw head portion and a threaded portion, and configured to be engaged to the electronic substrate by inserting the threaded portion into a screw fastening hole provided in the electronic substrate;

a conducting member provided between the screw head portion and the electronic substrate and configured to electrically connect the screw head portion to the electronic substrate;

a mark member formed in an under-screw-head region on a surface of the electronic substrate around the screw fastening hole as a conductive pattern, the mark member configured for use in testing or positioning of the electronic substrate;

an electrical wiring line provided between the screw head portion and the electronic substrate and configured so as not to be electrically connected to the screw head portion; and

a case for housing the electronic substrate.

11. An electronic device comprising:

an electronic substrate on which electronic components are provided, the electronic substrate being adapted to receive a screw that includes a screw head portion and a threaded portion;

a conducting member provided between the screw head portion and the electronic substrate and configured to electrically connect the screw head portion and the electronic substrate;

a mark member contained within a region on a surface of the electronic substrate that is (i) situated under the screw head portion and proximate to the screw fastening hole when the electronic substrate receives the screw and (ii) formed as a conductive pattern, the mark member configured for use in testing or positioning of the electronic substrate; and

an electrical wiring line provided between the screw head portion and the electronic substrate and configured so as not to be electrically connected to the screw head portion.

12. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the screw is configured to be fixed by engaging the threaded portion with the electronic substrate.

13. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the screw is configured to be grounded by the conducting member.

14. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the conducting member is configured to be mechanically fixed to a portion of the electronic substrate.

15. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the screw head portion is configured to be supported by the conducting member.

16. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the electrical wiring line is configured so as not to be electrically connected to the conducting member.

17. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the electrical wiring line is configured to be separated from the screw head portion.

18. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the conducting member is provided on the electronic substrate.

19. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the conducting member includes a solder component.
