An electronic apparatus includes a case that protects contents of the electronic apparatus from external mechanical impacts and/or electric disturbance, and two or more parts of electrically conductive material electrically insulated from each other. The two or more parts are electrically coupled with electric circuitry of the electronic apparatus. A first of the two or more parts has at least one electric contact area on an outer surface of the first of the two or more parts, and a second of the two or more parts has at least one electric contact area on the outer surface of the second of the two or more parts. The electric contact areas are configured to electrically couple with external counterpart contact areas for electric signals, electric energy, and/or electric data transfer to and/or from the electronic apparatus.
An electronic apparatus comprising a case that is configured to protect contents of the electronic apparatus from external mechanical impacts and/or electric disturbance, the case comprising two or more parts of electrically conductive material electrically insulated from each other, the two or more parts being electrically coupled with electric circuitry of the electronic apparatus, wherein a first of the two or more parts has at least one electric contact area on an outer surface of said first of the two or more parts, and a second of the two or more parts has at least one electric contact area on the outer surface of said second of the two or more parts, the electric contact areas being configured to electrically couple with external counterpart contact areas for electric signals, electric energy, and/or electric data transfer to and/or from the electronic apparatus.
A method of transferring electric signals, electric energy and/or electric data to and/or from an electronic apparatus, the method comprising transferring electric signals, electric energy and/or data to and/or from the electronic apparatus through two or more parts of a case of the electronic apparatus when the two or more parts are electrically coupled with external contact counterparts, wherein the parts are of electrically conductive material, electrically insulated from each other and electrically coupled with electric circuitry of the electronic apparatus, and a first of the two or more parts has at least one electric contact area on an outer surface of said first of the two or more parts, and a second of the two or more parts has at least one electric contact area on the outer surface of said second of the two or more parts.
