Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first printed circuit board having a first surface and a second surface, a second printed circuit board having a first surface and a second surface disposed to be spaced apart from the first printed circuit board, a battery disposed between the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board, a first connection member to electrically connect the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board, and a second connection member to electrically connect the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board, wherein the first connection member and the second connection member may be arranged to at least partially overlap at a portion passing by the battery.

Claims (49)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a first printed circuit board having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface;

a second printed circuit board having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface and disposed to be spaced apart from the first printed circuit board;

a battery disposed between the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board;

a first connection member that is connected to the first surface of the first printed circuit board and is connected to one of the first surface and the second surface of the second printed circuit board to thereby electrically connect the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board; and

a second connection member that is connected to the second surface of the first printed circuit board and is connected to one of the first surface and the second surface of the second printed circuit board to thereby electrically connect the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board,

wherein the first connection member and the second connection member are arranged to at least partially overlap at a portion passing by the battery.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 ,

wherein the first connection member is connected to a first connector disposed on the first surface of the first printed circuit board and a second connector disposed on at least one of the first surface or the second surface of the second printed circuit board, and

wherein the second connection member is connected to a third connector disposed on the second surface of the first printed circuit board and the second connector of the second printed circuit board.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 ,

wherein the first connection member is connected to a first connector disposed on the first surface of the first printed circuit board and a second connector disposed on at least one of the first surface or the second surface of the second printed circuit board, and

wherein the second connection member is connected to a third connector disposed on the second surface of the first printed circuit board and a fourth connector disposed on at least one of the first surface or the second surface of the second printed circuit board.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first connection member and the second connection member further include a reinforcing tape attached to at least a portion of the first connection member and the second connection member.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a shielding member disposed between the first connection member and the second connection member.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a sheet member including at least one of a heat diffusion sheet disposed to cover the battery or a noise shielding sheet.

7. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein a portion of the sheet member in contact with the first connection member and the second connection member is formed to be thinner than remaining portions of the sheet member.

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

a plate on which the first printed circuit board, the second printed circuit board, and the battery are disposed,

wherein the plate includes a seating portion formed to be concave in at least some region facing the second surface of the first printed circuit board.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein a connector of the second connection member connected to the second surface of the first printed circuit board is formed to extend in an extending direction of the first printed circuit board so as to increase a contact area with the seating portion.

10. The electronic device of claim 9 , further comprising a buffer member disposed between the connector of the second connection member connected to the second surface of the first printed circuit board and the first printed circuit board.

11. The electronic device of claim 9 ,

wherein the plate further includes an insertion groove formed in the seating portion, and

wherein at least a portion of the connector of the second connection member connected to the second surface of the first printed circuit board is inserted into the insertion groove of the plate.

12. An electronic device comprising:

a first printed circuit board having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface;

a second printed circuit board having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface and disposed to be spaced apart from the first printed circuit board;

a battery having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface and disposed between the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board;

a first connection member that is connected to the first surface of the first printed circuit board and is connected to one of the first surface and the second surface of the second printed circuit board to thereby electrically connect the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board; and

a second connection member that is connected to the second surface of the first printed circuit board and is connected to one of the first surface and the second surface of the second printed circuit board to thereby electrically connect the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board,

wherein the first connection member passes by the first surface of the battery, and

wherein the second connection member passes by the second surface of the battery.

13. The electronic device of claim 12 ,

wherein the first connection member is connected to a first connector disposed on the first surface of the first printed circuit board and a second connector disposed on at least one of the first surface or the second surface of the second printed circuit board, and

wherein the second connection member is connected to a third connector disposed on the second surface of the first printed circuit board and the second connector of the second printed circuit board.

14. The electronic device of claim 12 ,

wherein the first connection member is connected to a first connector disposed on the first surface of the first printed circuit board and a second connector disposed on at least one of the first surface or the second surface of the second printed circuit board, and

wherein the second connection member is connected to a third connector disposed on the second surface of the first printed circuit board and a fourth connector disposed on at least one of the first surface or the second surface of the second printed circuit board.

15. The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the first connection member and the second connection member further include a reinforcing tape attached to at least part of the first connection member and the second connection member.

16. The electronic device of claim 12 , further comprising a sheet member including at least one of a heat diffusion sheet disposed to cover the battery or a noise shielding sheet.

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

a plate on which the first printed circuit board, the second printed circuit board, and the battery are disposed,

wherein the plate includes a seating portion formed to be concave in at least some region facing the second surface of the first printed circuit board.

18. The electronic device of claim 17 , wherein a connector of the second connection member connected to the second surface of the first printed circuit board is formed to extend in an extending direction of the first printed circuit board so as to increase a contact area with the seating portion.
