Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing, a first printed circuit board disposed in the inner space of the housing, a second printed circuit board disposed so as to overlap at least a portion of the first printed circuit board, when the first printed circuit board is viewed from above, a first interposer disposed between the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board, and electrically connecting the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board, and at least one second interposer which is disposed between the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board so as to be spaced apart from the first interposer when the first printed circuit board is viewed from above, and which electrically connects the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board.

Claims (47)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a housing;

a first printed circuit board disposed in an inner space of the housing;

a second printed circuit board overlapping at least a part of the first printed circuit board when the first printed circuit board is viewed from above;

a first interposer disposed between the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board, the first interposer electrically connecting the first printed circuit board to the second printed circuit board, the first interposer comprising a first loop-shaped opening; and

at least one second interposer spaced apart from the first interposer between the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board, the at least one second interposer electrically connecting the first printed circuit board to the second printed circuit board, the at least one second interposer comprising a second loop-shaped opening,

wherein the second loop-shaped opening does not overlap the first loop-shaped opening when the first printed circuit board is viewed from above.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 ,

wherein the second printed circuit board comprises a protrusion part configured to protrude at least partly, and

wherein the at least one second interposer is disposed in an area overlapping the protrusion part.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , further comprising:

at least one electrical connection member disposed in the inner space,

wherein at least a part of an area overlapping the protrusion part is provided as a passage through which the at least one electrical connection member passes.

4. The electronic device of claim 3 , further comprising:

at least one opening part connected to the inner space of the housing through the at least one second interposer.

5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the at least one opening part comprises:

a first opening part into which the at least one electrical connection member enters; and

a second opening part which is disposed spaced apart from the first opening part, and from which the at least one electrical connection member is drawn out.

6. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the at least one electrical connection member comprises at least one of a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB), a coaxial cable, or an FPCB type radio frequency (RF) cable (FRC).

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one second interposer is disposed at a location not overlapping the first loop-shaped opening.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one second interposer is disposed parallel to the first interposer.

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

at least one support physical contacting the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board at a location overlapping the first loop-shaped opening between the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board when the first printed circuit board is viewed from above.

10. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the at least one support comprises a pan nut or a shield can having a thickness to maintain a gap between the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board.

11. The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the shield can of the at least one support is configured to shield noise of an electrical element disposed on the first printed circuit board or the second printed circuit board.

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

a display disposed so as to be viewed from an outside of the electronic device through at least a part of the housing in the inner space.

13. An electronic device comprising:

a housing;

a first printed circuit board disposed in an inner space of the housing;

a second printed circuit board overlapping at least a part of the first printed circuit board when the first printed circuit board is viewed from above;

a first interposer disposed between the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board, the first interposer electrically connecting the first printed circuit board to the second printed circuit board, the first interposer comprising a first loop-shaped opening: and

at least one second interposer spaced apart from the first interposer between the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board, the at least one second interposer electrically connecting the first printed circuit board to the second printed circuit board, the at least one second interposer comprising a second loop-shaped opening,

wherein the at least one second interposer is disposed at a location overlapping at least a part of the first loop-shaped opening when the first printed circuit board is view from above.

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

a first electrical element disposed on the first printed circuit board; and

a second electrical element disposed at a location overlapping the first loop-shaped opening on the second printed circuit board,

wherein the second electrical element is electrically connected to the first electrical element through the at least one second interposer.

15. The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein the first electrical element and the second electrical element comprise at least one of a power management integrated circuit (PMIC), a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC), an application processor (AP), or a communication processor (CP).

16. An electronic device comprising:

a housing;

a first printed circuit board disposed in an inner space of the housing, and including a plurality of first conductive terminals;

a second printed circuit board disposed to overlap at least a part of the first printed circuit board when the first printed circuit board is viewed from above, and including a plurality of second conductive terminals;

an interposer including a plurality of conductive vias configured to electrically connect the first printed circuit board to the second printed circuit board between the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board, and including a loop-shaped opening; and

at least one support disposed to come in physical contact with the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board at a location overlapping the loop-shaped opening between the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board when the first printed circuit board is viewed from above,

wherein the at least one support includes a pan nut having a thickness to keep a gap between the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board or a shield can for shielding a noise of an electrical element disposed on the first printed circuit board or the second printed circuit board.
