Abstract
Provided is a board coupling structure in which a power supply circuit board is formed as a separate board, more specifically, to a board coupling structure in which a signal processing circuit board for processing signals such as image signals, voice signals, and the like and a power supply circuit board are formed as different types of boards and the different types of boards are laterally coupled to each other. The board coupling structure includes a first circuit board, a second circuit board formed of a smaller number of layers than the number of layers of the first circuit board, and a fastening unit configured to laterally fasten a contact edge of the first circuit board to a contact edge of the second circuit board which are facing each other.
Claims6
A board coupling structure comprising:
- a first circuit board;
- a second circuit board formed of a smaller number of layers than the number of layers of the first circuit board;
- at least one electrical connector configured to electrically connect the first circuit board to the second circuit board;
- and
- a fastener configured to be spaced apart from the electrical connector and to laterally fasten a contact edge of the first circuit board to a contact edge of the second circuit board which are facing each other,
- wherein the fastener includes:
- an upper piece configured to cross an upper boundary or a lower boundary between the first circuit board and the second circuit board;
- two insertion pieces which are bent and extend from opposite sides of the upper piece toward the first circuit board and the second circuit board, respectively, the two insertion pieces being inserted into a first fastener insertion hole formed in the first circuit board and into a second fastener insertion hole formed in the second circuit board, respectively;
- and
- locking steps formed at ends of the two insertion pieces, and
- wherein the locking steps lock on one side of the first fastener insertion hole and the second fastener insertion hole.
