## Abstract

A mobile terminal device is provided in the present disclosure. The mobile terminal device includes a metal back cover with a groove, a printed circuit board with a groove opening corresponding to the groove, and an antenna module. The antenna module includes a radiator body and a groove adaptor member, at least part of the metal back cover serves as the radiator body of the antenna module. The groove adaptor member includes a groove adapting part and a supporting part for supporting the groove adapting part, the groove adapting part includes a main body, a first extending piece and a second extending piece. The main body is received in the groove opening and aligned with the groove; the first extending piece and the second extending piece respectively extend from two opposite edges of the main body and are connected to the printed circuit board.
