  • Publication number: 20100255893
    Abstract: A mobile communication apparatus configured to be provided with an extra antenna has a printed board provided with an antenna feed point, an antenna having a spring-like contact and provided on the printed board, and a housing constituted by a first case and a second case fixed into each other. The printed board and the antenna are arranged between and pressed by the first case and the second case. The antenna feed point and the spring-like contact are in contact with and electrically connected to each other by means of elastic force of the spring-like contact caused upon the first case and the second case being fixed into each other. The housing has a space for containing the extra antenna such that the extra antenna is electrically connected to the antenna feed point by means of the elastic force.
