Abstract

The electronic device has: a housing having an opening; a lid attached to the housing to cover the opening; a first substrate fixed in the housing; and a second substrate that has a first electronic component mounted on a first surface thereof, a first component mounting part on the first surface on which a second electronic component is removably mounted, and a third electronic component mounted on a second surface thereof and is fixed in the housing with the first surface facing the opening and the first component mounting part exposed in the opening.

Claims (14)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a housing having an opening;

a lid attached to the housing to cover the opening;

a first substrate fixed in the housing; and

a second substrate that has a first electronic component mounted on a first surface thereof, a first component mounting part on the first surface on which a second electronic component is removably mounted, and a third electronic component mounted on a second surface thereof and is fixed in the housing with the first surface facing the opening and the first component mounting part exposed in the opening.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first substrate has a second component mounting part on which a fourth electronic component is removably mounted and is fixed in the housing with the second component mounting part exposed in the opening.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the third electronic component has a greater footprint on the second substrate than the first electronic component.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first electronic component is a first card slot into which a card of a first kind is removably inserted and which accesses the inserted card of the first kind, and

the third electronic component is a second card slot into which a card of a second kind is removably inserted and which accesses the inserted card of the second kind.

5. The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein the second electronic component and the fourth electronic component are electronic components for radio communication conforming to different standards.

6. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising, at an exposed position in the opening, a hard disk unit mounting part on which a hard disk unit that has a hard disk and provides access to the hard disk is removably mounted.

7. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first substrate and the second substrate are adjacent to each other at respective border areas and fixed at different heights and have a pair of connectors for connecting the border areas to each other, and the pair of connectors are connected to each other by a flexible substrate.

8. The electronic device according to claim 7 , further comprising a keep plate that holds the flexible substrate and electrically connects a ground on the first substrate and a ground on the second substrate to each other.

9. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic device is a mobile computer that has a plate-like overall shape and has an electronic circuit that performs arithmetic processings in the housing and a display screen fixed to the front surface thereof.
