Connection terminal device and electronic device having the same

A connection terminal device comprising:

• a connection terminal device body;
• a connection terminal curvedly connected to the connection terminal device body, for electrically connecting to an external object by moving forward and backward by elastic force;
• a front unit disposed on a front surface of the connection terminal device body, for allowing a part of the connection terminal to protrude outward;
• a rear unit disposed on a rear surface of the connection terminal device body, for contacting the connection terminal along with forward and backward movement of the connection terminal and restricting the forward and backward movement of the connection terminal;
• and
• at least one support provided in the connection terminal device body, for supporting the connection terminal device body during the forward and backward movement of the connection terminal.

A method for operating a connection terminal device, the method comprising:

• providing a connection terminal connected to a connection terminal device body and electrically connected to an external object by moving forward and backward by elastic force;
• fixing at least one rear support provided on a rear surface of the connection terminal device body onto a board by welding, and fixing at least one side support provided on a side surface of the connection terminal device body onto the board by welding;
• and
• when a connection terminal provided in the connection terminal device body contacts an external object, pushing the connection terminal forward and backward, supporting force transferred to the rear surface of the connection terminal device body by the at least one rear support, and supporting force transferred to the side surface of the connection terminal device body by the at least one side support.

A connection terminal device in an electronic device, comprising:

• a board provided in the electronic device;
• a connection terminal device body fixed to the board;
• a connection terminal curvedly connected to the connection terminal device body, for electrically connecting to an external object by moving forward and backward by elastic force;
• a front unit disposed on a front surface of the connection terminal device body, for allowing a part of the connection terminal to protrude outward;
• a rear unit disposed on a rear surface of the connection terminal device body, for contacting the connection terminal along with forward and backward movement of the connection terminal and restricting the forward and backward movement of the connection terminal;
• and
• at least one support provided in the connection terminal device body, for supporting the connection terminal device body during the forward and backward movement of the connection terminal.
