  • Publication number: 20250081362
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a main circuit board, an electronic device, side circuit boards, and a pressure applying unit. The electronic device is installed on and electrically connected to the main circuit board. The side circuit boards are positioned at edges of the electronic device on a side of the electronic device away from the main circuit board and electrically connected to the electronic device. The pressure applying unit is positioned on a side of the electronic device and on each of the side circuit boards away from the main circuit board. The pressure applying unit applies pressure: 1) to the side circuit boards to maintain an electrical connection between the side circuit boards and the electronic device; and 2) to side regions of the electronic device to maintain an electrical connection between the main circuit board and the electronic device.
