Abstract
A contact terminal device for a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), includes the contact terminal being formed to correspondingly cover at least a portion of an opening formed in the PCB and a terminal member fixed onto the PCB, in which the terminal member includes a fixing portion fixed around the opening on a surface of the PCB and a contact terminal portion extending from the fixing portion to be disposed on the opening. The contact terminal for the PCB reduces a height from a surface of the PCB to a contact point with a counterpart component, i.e., a contact height, contributing to reducing the thickness of the portable terminal.
Claims17
An electrical contact terminal for mounting on a platform, the electrical contact terminal comprising:
- a terminal member formed to be affixed onto the platform, the terminal member comprising:
- a fixing portion adapted for mounting around an opening on a surface of the platform wherein the fixing portion comprises a first fixing portion that extends in a first direction and a pair of second fixing portions that extend from opposite sides of the first fixing portion substantially in parallel with each other in a second direction transverse to the first direction;
- a contact terminal portion extending from the fixing portion to be disposed on or over the opening on the surface of the platform;
- and
- one or more binding pieces extending from one or more edges of the second fixing portions in a third direction that is transverse to the first direction and the second direction;
- wherein the contact terminal portion extends from a side of the first fixing portion between the second fixing portions;
- and
- wherein the terminal member comprises a substantially flat singular structure.
A contact terminal structure for a portable terminal, comprising:
- a printed circuit board (PCB) having an opening therein and at least one binding hole formed to perforate the PCB around the opening;
- and
- a terminal member fixed onto the PCB,
- the terminal member comprising:
- a fixing portion fixed around the opening on a surface of the PCB;
- a contact terminal portion extending from the fixing portion to be disposed on the opening;
- and
- at least one binding piece extending from an edge of a surface of the fixing portion;
- wherein the binding piece is engaged with the binding hole to fix the fixing portion onto the PCB.
An electrical contact terminal for mounting on a platform, the electrical contact terminal comprising:
- a terminal member formed to be affixed onto the platform, the terminal member comprising:
- a fixing portion adapted for mounting around an opening on a surface of the platform;
- a contact terminal portion extending from the fixing portion to be disposed on or over the opening on the surface of the platform;
- and
- one or more binding pieces extending from an edge of a surface of the fixing portion, the one or more binding pieces being configured to engage with one or more binding holes perforating the platform to fix the fixing portion onto the platform;
- wherein the terminal member comprises a substantially flat singular structure.
A contact terminal structure for a portable terminal, comprising:
- a printed circuit board (PCB) having an opening therein;
- a terminal member fixed onto the PCB, the terminal member comprising:
- a fixing portion fixed around the opening on a surface of the PCB;
- and
- a support portion extending above the opening in a direction that is substantially parallel with the surface of the PCB;
- and
- a contact terminal portion extending from the support portion, the contact terminal portion extending inclinedly with respect to the surface of the PCB and curving around to point towards a plane of the surface of the PCB.
An electrical contact terminal for mounting on a platform, the electrical contact terminal comprising:
- a terminal member formed to be affixed onto the platform, the terminal member comprising:
- a fixing portion adapted for mounting around an opening on a surface of the platform;
- a support portion extending above the opening in a direction that is substantially parallel with the surface of the platform;
- and
- a contact terminal portion extending from the support portion to be disposed on or over the opening on the surface of the platform wherein the contact terminal portion comprises a contact surface having a curved shape, the contact surface protruding from the support portion and pointing towards a plane of a surface of the fixing portion;
- wherein the terminal member comprises a substantially flat singular structure.
