Abstract

A connector of an electronic device and an electronic device having the same are provided. The connector of an electronic device may includes a mold fixed on a main board of the electronic device; a first connection pin having a first connecting portion protruded to one surface of the mold; and a second connecting portion separated from the mold and an extension that connects the second connecting portion and the mold.

Claims (31)

1. A connector of an electronic device having a main board, comprising:

a mold fixed on the main board of the electronic device and having a slot formed thereon;

a first connection pin having a first connecting portion protruding through the slot of the mold; and

a second connection pin having a second connecting portion separated from the mold and an extension portion connecting the second connecting portion and the mold,

wherein the extension portion comprises a lower extension portion and a higher extension portion being extended from the lower extension portion, and the lower extension portion is mounted on and supported by two outer parallel surfaces of the mold, while the higher extension portion is separated from the mold.

2. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the first connecting portion protrudes in a direction parallel to one surface of a main board, wherein the one surface is vertical to the outer surface.

3. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the first connection pin comprises a main board connection portion electrically connected to the main board.

4. The connector of claim 3 , wherein the electronic device includes a power supply module disposed on the main board, and wherein the main board connection portion is connected to the power supply module.

5. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the second connecting portion is configured to be bent along a connecting direction of the second connecting portion.

6. The connector of claim 5 , wherein the connecting direction is a vertical direction of one surface of the main board, wherein the one surface is parallel to the outer surface.

7. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the extension portion extends in a connecting direction of the second connecting portion from the outer surface of the mold, and wherein one extended end of the extension portion is connected to the second connecting portion.

8. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the extension portion is configured to form a curved line.

9. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the second connection pin comprises a support portion that is positioned along a circumference of the mold and that fixes the second connection pin to the mold.

10. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the second connection pin comprises a protrusion portion configured to be bent in a connecting direction of the second connecting portion.

11. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the second connection pin comprises a main board connection portion electrically connected to the main board.

12. The connector of claim 11 , further comprising at least one module disposed on the main board, wherein the main board connection portion is connected to the at least one module.

13. The connector of claim 12 , wherein the at least one module comprises at least one of a sun light charge module, near field communication (NFC) module, and a wireless charge module.

14. An electronic device, comprising:

a body having an exterior surface;

a main board installed within an interior of the body; and at least one constituent element is disposed within the interior of the body; and a connector disposed on the main board,

wherein the connector comprises:

a mold fixed on the main board of the electronic device and having a slot formed thereon;

a first connection pin having a first connecting portion protruding through the slot of the mold; and

a second connection pin having a second connecting portion separated from the mold and an extension portion that connects the second connecting portion and the mold,

wherein the extension portion comprises a lower extension portion and a higher extension portion being extended from the lower extension portion, and the lower extension portion is mounted on and supported by two outer parallel surfaces of the mold, while the higher extension portion is separated from the mold.

15. The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein the second connecting portion is configured to be bent in a connecting direction of the second connecting portion.

16. The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the connecting direction is a vertical direction of one surface of the main board, and wherein the one surface is parallel to the outer surface.

17. The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein the extension portion extends in a connecting direction of the second connecting portion from the outer surface of the mold, and wherein one extended end of the extension portion is connected to the second connecting portion.

18. The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein the second connection pin comprises a support portion that is positioned along a circumference of the mold and that fixes the second connection pin to the mold.

19. The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein the second connecting portion comprises a main board connection portion electrically connected to the main board.

20. The electronic device of claim 19 , wherein the main board connection portion is electrically connected to at least one of a sun light charge module, near field communication (NFC) module, and a wireless charge module disposed on the main board.
