Abstract

Claims (36)

1 . An electronic device comprising:

a housing including a metal portion and a polymer portion;

a substrate disposed in the housing;

a connector disposed in the housing and configured to electrically connect the metal portion and the substrate; and

a screw configured to fasten the metal portion of the housing and the connector, wherein the screw passes through the connector and at least a portion of the metal portion,

wherein the connector includes: a base portion seated on the metal portion and through which the screw is configured to pass, a movable portion configured to at least partially face the base portion and through which the screw is configured to pass, a bending portion connecting one side of the base portion and the movable portion, and a connecting portion extending from an opposite side of the base portion and connected to the substrate.

2 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the movable portion includes a first movable portion connected to the bending portion and a second movable portion obliquely extending from the first movable portion at a specified angle.

3 . The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein each of the first movable portion and the second movable portion at least partially overlap the base portion when viewed in a penetration direction of the screw.

4 . The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein each of the first movable portion and the second movable portion at least partially contact the base portion in a state in which the screw is completely fastened.

5 . The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the screw is configured to pass through the second movable portion.

6 . The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the second movable portion is configured such that a distance from the base portion is increased away from the first movable portion.

7 . The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the first movable portion is substantially parallel to the base portion.

8 . The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein an embossing protruding toward the second movable portion to contact the second movable portion is formed on the base portion.

9 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the movable portion is inclined such that a distance from the base portion is increased away from the bending portion.

10 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a head of the screw is configured to press the movable portion such that the movable portion at least partially contacts the base portion, and

the movable portion is configured to press the head of the screw in a direction opposite to a penetration direction of the screw.

11 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the housing includes a first plate configured to form a front surface of the electronic device, a second plate configured to form a rear surface of the electronic device, and a side support surrounding a space between the first plate and the second plate, and

the side support includes the metal portion.

12 . The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the connector includes a third movable portion extending from the movable portion and contacting the metal portion of the housing, and

the third movable portion is configured to provide an elastic force to the metal portion contacted with the third movable portion.

13 . The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the third movable portion includes a first portion extending from the second movable portion, a second portion curvedly extending from the first portion toward the base portion, and a third portion extending from the second portion to face the second movable portion.

14 . The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the connector includes:

an embossing protruding from the base portion toward the second movable portion; and

a fourth movable portion extending from a first end portion of the second movable portion to overlap the embossing, and

the third movable portion includes a first segment and a second segment extending from the first end portion of the second movable portion with the fourth movable portion therebetween.

15 . The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the second movable portion includes a first end portion, a first lateral portion extending from one side of the first movable portion to one side of the first end portion, and a second lateral portion facing away from the first lateral portion and extending from an opposite side of the first movable portion to an opposite side of the first end portion, and

the third movable portion includes a first segment extending from the first lateral portion and a second segment extending from the second lateral portion.

16 . The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the base portion includes an extending portion extending to the connecting portion from an area where the embossing is formed, and

the extending portion has a width less than a width of the base portion.

17 . The electronic device of claim 16 , wherein the connecting portion faces a different direction from the base portion, and

the extending portion is at least partially bent.

18 . The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the base portion includes an embossing protruding toward the movable portion, and

the movable portion at least partially contacts the embossing in a state in which the screw is completely fastened.

19 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the connecting portion is electrically connected to a ground area of the substrate.

20 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a first hole is formed in the base portion, and

a second hole is formed in the movable portion and at least partially aligned with the first hole in an insertion direction of the screw.
