Abstract
A mobile terminal comprises: a case forming appearance of the mobile terminal, and having a printed circuit board (PCB) therein; and a connection terminal mounted to the case, and configured to electrically connect the PCB to an external device, wherein the connection terminal comprises: an external terminal supported by an outer surface of the case; and an internal terminal elastically contacting a terminal of the PCB, connected to the external terminal, and supported by an inner surface of the case.
Claims18
A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a case forming appearance of the mobile terminal, and having a printed circuit board (PCB) therein;
- and
- a connection terminal mounted to the case, and configured to electrically connect the PCB to an external device,
- wherein the connection terminal comprises:
- an external terminal configured such that part thereof is exposed outside the case to contact a terminal of an external device, the external terminal being supported by an outer surface of the case to be prevented from moving even if the external terminal contacts the terminal of the external device;
- and
- an internal terminal elastically contacting a terminal of the PCB, connected to the external terminal, and supported by an inner surface of the case, and
- wherein one or more sealing members for hermetically sealing the case are further provided between the through hole and the external and internal terminals, the sealing members being formed of a non-conductive material and configured to allow the external and internal terminals to be spaced from the case such that the sealing members serve to insulate between the case and the external and internal terminals even though the case is formed of metallic material.
