Abstract
A connector to be disposed within a housing of an electronic device includes a main body and a conduction member. The conduction member includes a connecting portion and a resilient portion. The resilient portion is formed on the connecting portion and configured to abut against the housing. An EMI shield being formed on the housing, which includes at least one spring arm in the lengthwise direction and at least one spring arm in the crosswise direction on the EMI shield are sited to fixate the connection between the connector and the electronic device.
Claims22
A connector configured to be disposed within a housing of an electronic device, an EMI shield being formed on the housing, the EMI shield comprising at least one spring arm in the lengthwise direction and at least one spring arm in the crosswise direction, the connector comprising:
- a main body comprising a plate surface;
- and
- a conduction member comprising a connecting portion and a resilient portion, the connecting portion being a plate to be extended from the plate surface and the resilient portion being formed on the connecting portion configured to abut against the EMI shield of the housing, as such the conduction member is closely abutted against the EMI shield under resilient force of the resilient portion, the spring arm in the lengthwise direction and the spring arm in the crosswise direction on the EMI shield are sited to fixate the connection between the connector and the electronic device, which results in good electromagnetic conduction in the connector so that conducted EMI is effectively reduced or even eliminated.
An electronic system, the system comprising:
- an electronic device comprising a housing;
- an EMI shield being formed on the housing of the electronic device, and the EMI shield comprising at least one spring arm in the lengthwise direction and at least one spring arm in the crosswise direction;
- a connector, the connector configured to be disposed within the housing of the electronic device, the connector comprising a main body and a conduction member, the main body further comprising a plate surface and the conduction member further comprising a connecting portion and a resilient portion, wherein the connecting portion is a plate to be extended from the plate surface and the resilient portion is formed on the connecting portion configured to abut against the EMI shield of the housing, as such the conduction member is closely abutted against the EMI shield under resilient force of the resilient portion, the spring arm in the lengthwise direction and the spring arm in the crosswise direction on the EMI shield are sited to fixate the connection between the connector and the electronic device, which results in good electromagnetic conduction in the connector so that conducted EMI is effectively reduced or even eliminated.
