US 6,724,905 B2 · Microphone unit mounting structure

Abstract

The invention provides a microphone unit mounting structure wherein the thickness of a body typically of a portable telephone set can be reduced without being restricted by the dimension of the sum of the height of a microphone and the thickness of a microphone connector and a printed circuit board. The microphone unit mounting structure includes a microphone connector electrically connected to the microphone, a microphone holder for holding the microphone together with the microphone connector thereon to form a microphone unit, and a printed circuit board. The microphone connector has a projecting portion projecting outwardly therefrom farther than an outer peripheral edge of the microphone and electrically connected to the printed circuit board. The printed circuit board has a microphone unit relief hole formed therein, and the microphone unit is held on the front case of the body member in such a state that part of the microphone unit is received in the microphone unit relief hole.
