Abstract

An electronic device including: a circuit board on which an electronic component is mounted; a plate material which is used as a ground, the plate material being extended in parallel with the circuit board; and a ground connection member which includes a fixed section and multiple elastic leg sections, the fixed section being tightened to the circuit board and connected to a ground on the circuit board, the elastic leg sections being extended from the fixed section toward different directions along the circuit board, each of the elastic leg sections being extended onto the plate material side to elastically press the plate material.

Claims (15)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a circuit board on which an electronic component is mounted, a through-hole being made in the circuit board, a ground pattern being spread around the through-hole on a surface of the circuit board;

a first plate material which is used as a ground, the first plate material facing a surface side of the circuit board while being extended in parallel with the circuit board, the first plate material comprising an elastic tongue piece whose leading-end portion contacts surroundings of the through-hole of the circuit board, the elastic tongue piece being cut and lowered onto the circuit board side; and

a second plate material which is used as a ground, the second plate material facing a backside of the circuit board while being extended in parallel with the circuit board, the second plate material comprising a boss which is vertically provided toward the through-hole of the circuit board,

wherein the leading-end portion of the elastic tongue piece and the boss are tightened to each other, and

the leading-end portion of the elastic tongue piece elastically presses a ground pattern which is spread around the through-hole on the surface of the circuit board.

2. A ground connection structure which is located between a ground on a circuit board and a plate material, the plate material being used as a ground while extended in parallel with the circuit board,

the ground connection structure comprising:

a fixed section which is fixed to one of the circuit board and the plate material; and

a pressing section which elastically presses the other of the circuit board and the plate material

wherein the plate material comprises two plate materials which are spread in parallel with each other while the circuit board is interposed therebetween,

the circuit board has a through-hole which pierces through the circuit board,

a first plate material of the two plate materials comprises an elastic tongue piece whose leading-end portion contacts surroundings of the through-hole of the circuit board, the elastic tongue piece being cut and lowered onto the circuit board side,

a second plate material of the two plate materials comprises a boss which is vertically provided toward the through-hole of the circuit board, and

the leading-end portion of the elastic tongue piece elastically presses the circuit board by tightening the leading-end portion of the elastic tongue piece and the boss to each other.
