  • Patent number: 10877517
    Abstract: Electronic devices, such as mobile communication devices, may include several enhancements and modification not found on traditional electronic devices. Parts of the electronic device can be welded together to provide structural support and or functional connections between operating components of the electronic device. Within a band, a back plate can support multiple operable components of the electronic device. The band, the welds, and/or the back plate can provide electrical connections between components. Conductive pathways provided by the welds can be provided with adequate strength and durability to reduce and avoid breakage so that sensitive components, such as a compass module, can operate without alterations that would cause interference. The welds can be provided in a sequence that mitigates the effects of heating during the welding process.

  • Patent number: 7845983
    Abstract: A circuit board built-in connector and a catcher are provided. The circuit board built-in connector and the catcher can be miniaturized, have high cable pulled-out strength and resistance to noise and electrostatic property, and are easy for installation and high in line operability. The circuit board built-in connector for connecting an antenna element (10) with a cable (20) is comprised of a circuit board (1), a ground member (2), and a cable clamping portion (3). The circuit board (1) has connecting terminals and an electronic circuit is placed thereon. The ground member (2) is provided adjacent to a side portion of the circuit board in a perpendicular manner to a plate surface of the circuit board. Then, the cable clamping portion (3) extends from the ground member to hold the cable (20).

  • Patent number: 7815470
    Abstract: A shielding shell includes an upper shell and a lower shell. The upper shell has a rear cover engaged in the lower shell, and a front cover connected to a front of the rear cover and mounted beyond the lower shell. The lower shell has a base board, two side boards protruding upward from two opposite sides of a rear of the base board, and a front board protruding upward from a front end of the base board. Two opposite ends of the front board extend sideward to form a pair of fixing boards bent rearward to lie substantially in alignment with the corresponding side boards. Wherein a free end of each of the fixing boards extends to form a fixing portion buckled into a corresponding fixing cavity defined in a front of each of the side boards for fixing the fixing board to the corresponding side board.

  • Patent number: 7736190
    Abstract: An electrical connector (100) comprises an insulative housing (10), a shell encapsulating the insulative housing and a plurality of contacts (20) received in the housing abreast. The insulative housing defines a tongue (12), a plurality of passageways (121) and receiving grooves (131), the passageways extending to the tongue, the tongue has a stopping portion (126) in the front of each passageway. A cavity is defined below each stopping portion and communicated with the passageway. Each contact has a contacting portion (21) and a tail portion (23) wider than the contacting portion, the contacting portions are received in a corresponding passageways with the tail portions received in a corresponding receiving grooves. Each contacting portion defines a tab (210) protruding forwardly from a bottom surface thereof, the tab is received in the cavity and protected by the stopping portion (126); each tail portion is stamped downwards to form a notch (231) receiving wires and soldering with the wires.
