2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first protrusion extends from the second layer of the first stacked structure and penetrates the first layer.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first protrusion extends from the first layer of the first stacked structure.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first stacked structure includes a connecting portion configured to extend from one end of the first layer to one end of the second layer.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a screw configured to penetrate the first protrusion and inserted into the first opening.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first layer of the second stacked structure includes:

a first portion configured to extend from the second plate; and

a second portion configured to extend from the first portion toward the display,

wherein the second layer of the second stacked structure includes:

a third portion disposed on the first portion, and

a fourth portion configured to extend from the third portion to face the second portion, and

wherein the second stacked structure includes a connecting portion configured to extend from one end of the second portion to one end of the fourth portion.

7. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the second protrusion extends from the fourth portion toward the side member.

8. The electronic device of claim 6 ,

wherein a second stopping recess is formed in the support member, and

wherein the connecting portion is accommodated in the second stopping recess.

9. The electronic device of claim 6 , further comprising:

a screw,

wherein a second opening is formed in the support member, and

wherein the screw penetrates the first portion and the third portion of the second stacked structure and is inserted into the second opening.

10. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:

at least one connector disposed on the printed circuit board,

wherein the stacked structure includes a third stacked structure configured to overlap the at least one connector, and

wherein the third stacked structure includes a connecting portion configured to extend from one end of the first layer to one end of the second layer.

11. The electronic device of claim 10 ,

wherein the first layer of the third stacked structure includes a first surface configured to face toward the first plate and a second surface configured to face toward the display, and

wherein the second layer is disposed on the first surface or the second surface.

12. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a camera module including a housing,

wherein the second plate includes a first stopping structure formed on the periphery of the second plate,

wherein the first stopping structure includes a first stopping protrusion configured to protrude toward the housing,

wherein the housing of the camera module includes a second stopping protrusion configured to protrude toward the second plate and located over the first stopping protrusion, and

wherein the first stopping protrusion and the second stopping protrusion are brought into contact with each other to prevent movement of the second plate.

13. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a third plate disposed between the first plate and the support member, the third plate having an opening formed therein,

wherein the second plate includes a second stopping structure configured to extend from the periphery of the second plate toward the display, and

wherein the second stopping structure is at least partially inserted into the opening to prevent movement of the second plate.

14. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a third plate disposed between the first plate and the support member,

wherein the second plate includes a third stopping structure configured to extend from the periphery of the second plate in a direction substantially parallel to the second plate, and

wherein at least a portion of the third stopping structure is accommodated in a recess formed on the third plate to prevent movement of the second plate.

15. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a loop antenna disposed on the second plate.

16. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the second plate includes a clad metal.

17. An electronic device comprising:

a display forming at least a portion of a front surface of the electronic device;

a first plate forming at least a portion of a rear surface of the electronic device;

a side member disposed between the display and the first plate, wherein the side member forms at least a portion of a side surface of the electronic device;

a support member disposed inside the side member, wherein a first opening and a first stopping recess are formed in the support member;

a first printed circuit board disposed between the support member and the first plate;

at least one connector disposed on the first printed circuit board; and

a second plate disposed between the first plate and the first printed circuit board and coupled with the support member, and that covers at least a portion of the first printed circuit board,

wherein the second plate includes a stacked structure that is formed on a periphery of the second plate and that includes a first layer extending from the second plate and a second layer disposed on the first layer,

wherein the stacked structure includes:

a first stacked structure including a first protrusion that extends toward the display,

a second stacked structure including a second protrusion that extends toward the side member, and

a third stacked structure that at least partially overlaps the at least one connector,

wherein the first protrusion is at least partially inserted into the first opening of the support member to restrict movement of the second plate in a horizontal direction, and

wherein the second protrusion is at least partially inserted into the first stopping recess of the support member to restrict movement of the second plate in a vertical direction.

18. The electronic device of claim 17 , further comprising a screw,
