Abstract

An electronic device includes a metal shield, a housing, a circuit board, an engaging element, and a fixing element. The circuit board is located between the metal shield and the housing. The engaging element is disposed on the circuit board. The circuit board is fixed on the housing and connected to the metal shield via the engaging element.

Claims (20)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a metal shield;

a housing covering the metal shield;

a circuit board located between the metal shield and the housing;

an engaging element comprising

a retaining body disposed on the circuit board; and

a conductive element, disposed on the retaining body, contacting with the metal shield and the circuit board; and

a fixing element connected to the housing and the retaining body,

wherein the conductive element is located between the circuit board and the metal shield.

2. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the housing has a through hole, the retaining body has a fixing portion, and the fixing element passes through the through hole to fix the housing to the fixing portion.

3. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a display module having a first connector, wherein the metal shield covers a rear surface of the display module.

4. The electronic device as claimed in claim 3 , further comprising a second connector disposed on the circuit board, and plugged on the first connector.

5. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a positioning structure disposed on the circuit board and the metal shield.

6. The electronic device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the positioning structure comprises a lock hole disposed on the circuit board and a screw passing through the lock hole, and the circuit board is fastened to the metal shield by the screw.

7. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the retaining body comprises a retaining groove and a retaining protrusion disposed in the retaining groove, and the circuit board comprises a latching hole, wherein the circuit board is plugged on the retaining groove and the retaining protrusion is retained in the latching hole.

8. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the conductive element comprises

a conductive body located in the retaining groove;

a first elastic portion extended from the conductive body to the retaining groove, and connected to the circuit board; and

a second elastic portion extended from the conductive body to the metal shield.

9. The electronic device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the conductive element is an elastic piece.
