Abstract

A mobile device includes a circuit board on which an electronic circuit used to perform wireless communication with a vehicle-mounted device is mounted, a battery holder that holds a battery from which electric power is supplied to the electronic circuit, and a case member in which the circuit board and the battery holder are accommodated. Test ports, which are terminal electrodes used in test of the electronic circuit, are provided on one plate surface of the circuit board. The battery holder holds the battery at a position at which the battery faces the test ports.

Claims (17)

1. A mobile device comprising:

a circuit board on which an electronic circuit used to perform wireless communication with a vehicle-mounted device is mounted;

a battery holder that holds a battery from which electric power is supplied to the electronic circuit, the battery comprising a button battery having two electrode surfaces; and

a case member having a plurality of cases, the battery holder being provided on a first one of the plurality of cases and the circuit board being accommodated in a second one of the plurality of cases;

wherein:

a test port is provided on one plate surface of the circuit board, the test port being a terminal electrode used in test of the electronic circuit, and

the battery holder holds the battery at a position at which the battery faces the test port; and

the battery holder holds the battery so that a first one of the two electrode surfaces of the battery faces the one plate surface; and the test port is disposed in an opposing space that faces the one plate surface and the one of the two electrode surfaces.

2. The mobile device according to claim 1 , wherein a ground electrode or a power supply electrode is provided in an inner layer of the circuit board or on another plate surface of the circuit board so as to cover an area facing the test port and a periphery of the area.

3. The mobile device according to claim 1 , wherein a ground electrode or a power supply electrode is provided on the one plate surface so as to enclose the test port.

4. The mobile device according to claim 1 , wherein a protrusion is formed at a position on the one plate surface so as to extend toward the battery, the protrusion facing the battery at the position, the position differing from a position at which the test port is disposed.

5. The mobile device according to claim 4 , further comprising a contact member formed on the one plate surface,

wherein the protrusion is integrally formed with the contact member.

6. The mobile device according to claim 1 , further comprising an input part that accepts an input operation from an operator, wherein

a wiring electrode is provided on the circuit board, the wiring electrode electrically connecting the electronic circuit and the input part to each other, and

the test port is electrically connected to the wiring electrode.

7. The mobile device according to claim 1 , comprising a contact member that electrically connects the second one of the two electrode surfaces of the battery holder and the electronic circuit to each other and wherein the contact member is disposed on the first one of the plurality of cases.
