The electronic components mounted on the printed circuit board 500 may be electrically connected through conductive lines formed on the printed circuit board 500 in a printing manner. Figure 5a The printed circuit board 500 shown may be included in an electronic device (e.g., Figure 1 One of the printed circuit boards in the electronic device 101).

[0065] According to various embodiments, the printed circuit board 500 may include an outer wall portion 510. The outer wall portion 510 refers to one side surface of the printed circuit board 500 disposed substantially parallel to the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400 in a state where the printed circuit board 500 is mounted on the mounting portion 410 of the housing 400. When the printed circuit board 500 is mounted on the mounting portion 410 of the housing 400, the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400 and the outer wall portion 510 of the printed circuit board 500 may be in a state where they at least partially face each other.

[0066] According to various embodiments, the clip member 520 mounted on the printed circuit board 500 may transmit an electrical signal moved by a conductive line printed on the printed circuit board 500 to a component in contact with the clip portion 521 of the clip member 520, or transmit an electrical signal of a component in contact with the clip portion 521 of the clip member 520 to a conductive line printed on the printed circuit board 500. For example, the clip member 520 may transmit an antenna signal. The clip member 520 may be electrically connected to an antenna feed portion (not shown) or a ground (not shown) to generate or receive an antenna signal. Figure 5a and Figure 5b As shown, the clip member 520 may be disposed at a position adjacent to the outer wall portion 510 of the printed circuit board 500. The clip portion 521 of the clip member 520 may be formed to face the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400 (eg, at Figure 5a In a state where the printed circuit board 500 is mounted on the mounting portion 410 of the housing 400, the clip portion 521 of the clip member 520 may contact the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400. In a case where the pad portion 440 is provided on the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400, the clip portion 521 may contact the pad portion 440. A plurality of clip portions 521 and clip members 520 may be provided and arranged along the outer wall portion 510 of the printed circuit board 500.

[0067] According to various embodiments, the connector 540 mounted on the printed circuit board 500 may include a universal serial bus (USB) connector 540. For example, the connector 540 may be a USB type C connector 540. The connector 540 may be used for a wired connection between an external electronic device and the electronic device. The connector 540 may be disposed at a position adjacent to the outer wall portion 510 of the printed circuit board 500. At least a portion of the connector 540 may be oriented toward the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400 (e.g., at Figure 5a The connector 540 may be inserted into an opening portion (eg, Figure 4a In a state where the connector 540 is inserted into the opening portion 460, the connector 540 may be at least partially exposed to the outside of the electronic device.

[0068] According to various embodiments, the protrusion guide 530 may be formed on the printed circuit board 500. The protrusion guide 530 may be formed in substantially the same direction as the clip portion 521 of the clip member 520 (eg, Figure 5a The protrusion guide 530 may be formed in a direction along the second direction (eg, the negative X direction in the middle). The protrusion guide 530 may start from the outer wall portion 510 of the printed circuit board 500 and extend toward the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400. Figure 5a The protrusion guide 530 is positioned at a position spaced apart from the clip portion 521 of the clip member 520 (in the negative Z direction in the second direction). When the printed circuit board 500 approaches the mounting portion 410 of the housing 400 in the second direction, the protrusion guide 530 may contact the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400 before the clip portion 521 of the clip member 520. Therefore, the risk of the clip portion 521 of the clip member 520 being caught by the inner wall portion 420 and damaged during the assembly process of the printed circuit board 500 can be prevented. The protrusion degree of the protrusion guide 530 may be greater than the protrusion degree of the clip portion 521. For example, the length from the outer wall portion 510 of the printed circuit board 500 to the end of the protrusion guide 530 (for example, Figure 8c L1 in ) may be greater than the length from the outer wall portion 510 of the printed circuit board 500 to the end of the clip portion 521 (eg, Figure 8c In addition, the protrusion guide 530 may be formed along a third direction (eg, Figure 5a At a position spaced apart from the clamp portion 521 of the clamp member 520 (in the positive Z direction).

[0069] In an embodiment, the protrusion guide 530 may be formed integrally with the printed circuit board 500. The protrusion guide 530 may refer to a portion protruding from the outer wall portion 510 of the printed circuit board 500. In another embodiment, the protrusion guide may be a separate component mounted on the printed circuit board. The protrusion guide mounted on the printed circuit board may protrude toward the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400.

[0070] According to various embodiments, the protrusion guide 530 may be shaped to match the guide groove (eg, Figure 4b The protrusion guide 530 is substantially engaged with the shape of the guide groove 430 in the housing 400. For example, in the case where the shape of the guide groove is semicircular, the protrusion guide 530 can be formed in a semicircular shape so that the guide groove and the protrusion guide are engaged (e.g., in contact). In addition, the protrusion guide 530 can be formed in various shapes (e.g., semicircular, oval, square, asymmetrical, etc.) to facilitate the process of assembling the printed circuit board 500 relative to the housing 400 by a worker.

[0071] According to various embodiments, the protrusion guide 530 may be provided at a position adjacent to at least one of the clip portion 521 and the clip member 520. In one embodiment, the protrusion guide 530 may be formed to extend from an end portion of the outer wall portion 510 of the printed circuit board 500 or an edge portion of the printed circuit board 500 toward the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400 (e.g., at Figure 5a The end portion of the outer wall portion 510 or the edge portion may refer to the outer wall portion 510 in the extending direction of the outer wall portion 510 (for example, Figure 5aThe outer wall portion 510 may be a side surface of the printed circuit board 500 that substantially faces the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400, and thus the end or edge portion of the outer wall portion 510 may refer to both ends of a side surface of the printed circuit board 500 that faces the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400.

[0072] According to various embodiments, the protrusion guide 530 may be inserted into the guide groove 430 formed in the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400 .

[0073] Figure 6a and Figure 6b is a view showing a clip member according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 6a and Figure 6b In the figure, (a) shows a plan view of the clip member, and (b) shows a side view of the clip member.

[0074] According to various embodiments, the clip member 520 or 620 may include a body portion 522 or 622 and a clip portion 521 or 621. For example, the body portion 522 or 622 may be mounted on the printed circuit board 500. The body portion 522 or 622 mounted on the printed circuit board 500 allows the clip member 520 or 620 to be fixed on the printed circuit board 500. In addition, for example, the clip portion 521 or 621 is mounted on the printed circuit board 500, and may transmit an electrical signal moved by a conductive line printed on the printed circuit board 500 to a component contacted with the clip portion 521 or 621, or transmit an electrical signal of a component contacted with the clip portion 521 or 621 to a conductive line printed on the printed circuit board 500.

[0075] In the following, Figure 6a The illustrated clip member 520 will be referred to as a first clip member 520 , the clip portion included in the first clip member 520 will be referred to as a first clip portion 521 , and the body portion included in the first clip member 520 will be referred to as a first body portion 522 . Figure 6b The illustrated clip member 620 will be referred to as a second clip member 620 , the clip portion included in the second clip member 620 will be referred to as a second clip portion 621 , and the body portion included in the second clip member 620 will be referred to as a second body portion 622 .

[0076] According to various embodiments, when the printed circuit board 500 is mounted on the mounting portion 410 of the housing 400, the clip portions 521 and 621 of the clip members 520 and 622 may be pressed against the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400, thereby being elastically deformed. Figure 6aAs shown in part (a), the first clip portion 521 may be formed to extend in a direction parallel to the extending direction of the printed circuit board 500 (eg, Figure 6a The first clamp portion 521 may extend in the positive / negative Y-axis direction in the middle). A portion of the first clamp portion 521 may be bent, and both ends of the first clamp portion 521 may be mounted on the first body portion 522. The shape of the first clamp portion 521 is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, and the shape of the first clamp portion 521 may vary according to various embodiments. For example, the first clamp portion 521 may have a shape that is bent once, but may also be bent multiple times (e.g., three times) or formed into a concave-convex shape.

[0077] According to various embodiments, Figure 6b As shown in part (b), the second clip portion 621 may be formed to extend in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the printed circuit board 500 (eg, Figure 6b The second clamp portion 621 may extend in the positive / negative Z-axis direction. A portion of the second clamp portion 621 may be bent, and both ends of the second clamp portion 621 may be mounted on the second body portion 622.

[0078] Reference Figure 6a and Figure 6b , the height A of the first clip member 520 may be lower than the height B of the second clip member 620. Here, the height may refer to the length A or B from the surface of the printed circuit board 500 to the point where the body portion 522 or 622 of the clip member 520 or 620 ends. In the case of using the first clip member 520, the thickness of the electronic device can be reduced compared to the case of using the second clip member 620.

[0079] Reference Figure 6b In the portion (b), the second clip portion 621 may have an inclined surface formed in the Z-axis direction by bending. Figure 6b When the second clamp portion 621 approaches the mounting portion 410 of the housing 400 in the negative Z direction (b), the second clamp portion 621 may gradually press against the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400. Figure 5a As shown in part (a), the first clip portion 521 may have an inclined surface formed in the Y-axis direction by bending. Figure 6b In the case where the printed circuit board 500 including the clip member 520 approaches the mounting portion 410 of the housing 400 (in the negative Z direction in the portion (b)), the first clip portion 521 may be damaged by being caught on the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400. Depending on the approach direction of the printed circuit board 500 including the clip member 520 toward the housing 400 caused by the worker, the clip member 520 including the first clip portion 521 may have a risk of being damaged.

[0080] The electronic device and the printed circuit board 500 included therein according to various embodiments of the present disclosure may prevent damage to the clip member 520 including the clip portion 521 shaped like the first clip portion 521 during assembly of the printed circuit board 500 with respect to the housing 400 by a worker.

[0081] Figure 7 are views showing aspects of assembly of a housing and a printed circuit board according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. Figures 8a to 8c is a view showing an assembly aspect of a housing and a printed circuit board according to various embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 9a and Figure 9b 2 is a view showing a state in which a case and a printed circuit board are assembled according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. Figures 7 to 9b At least one of the housing and the printed circuit board in the embodiment may be similar to Figures 4a to 6b At least one component of the housing and the printed circuit board, so repeated description can be omitted below.

[0082] According to various embodiments, the protrusion length of the shoulder portion 470 protruding at a position adjacent to the opening portion 460 formed in the inner wall portion 420 may be greater than the protrusion length of the clip portion 521 of the clip member 520. The protrusion length of the shoulder portion 470 may refer to a length from the inner wall portion 420 to an end of the shoulder portion 470 (e.g., Figure 4a ), the protrusion length of the clip portion 521 may refer to the length from the main body portion 522 of the clip member 520 to the end of the clip portion 521 (eg, Figure 5b In order to prevent the connector 540 mounted on the printed circuit board 500 from being caught by the shoulder portion 470, the printed circuit board 500 may have to be moved along the outer wall portion 510 of the printed circuit board 500. Figure 7 In the state where the positive X direction in the housing 400 is spaced apart from the inner wall portion 420, the housing 400 is moved in the second direction (eg, Figure 7 Because the protruding length of the shoulder portion 470 is greater than the protruding length of the clip portion 521, when the outer wall portion 510 of the printed circuit board 500 is spaced apart from the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400 to the extent that the connector 540 is not caught on the shoulder portion 470, the clip portion 521 of the clip member 520 can be prevented from being caught and damaged by the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400.

[0083] According to various embodiments, Figure 8a and Figure 8bAs shown, in a state where the outer wall portion 510 of the printed circuit board 500 is tilted relative to the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400 during the assembly process, the printed circuit board 500 may approach the mounting portion 410 of the housing 400 in the second direction. In this state, regardless of the protrusion lengths of the shoulder portion 470 and the clip portion 521, the connector 540 is not caught on the shoulder portion 470, and only the clip portion 521 may be caught on the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400. The protrusion guide 530 according to various embodiments of the present disclosure may be formed to protrude from a position spaced apart from the clip portion 521 in the second direction. When the printed circuit board 500 approaches the housing 400 in the second direction, the protrusion guide 530 may first contact the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400. In a state where the protrusion guide 530 is caught on the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400, the printed circuit board 500 may be difficult to move in the second direction. The worker can move the printed circuit board 500 in the second direction in a state where the outer wall portion 510 of the printed circuit board 500 is spaced apart from the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400. Therefore, the risk of the clip portion 521 being caught and damaged by the inner wall portion 420 can be reduced. The printed circuit board 500 according to various embodiments of the present disclosure can be allowed to be assembled by an assembly path other than the worker's assembly path (for example, putting the printed circuit board 500 into the housing 400 in the second direction in a state where the outer wall portion 510 and the inner wall portion 420 are parallel) (for example, moving the printed circuit board 500 in the second direction in a state where the outer wall portion 510 and the inner wall portion 420 are spaced apart). Therefore, damage to the clip portion 521 that may be caused in the process of assembling the printed circuit board 500 and the housing 400 can be prevented.

[0084] According to various embodiments, the position at which the guide groove 430 is formed in the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400 may be determined as a position at which the clip portion 521 of the clip member 520 is not caught by the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400 and is not damaged even when the protrusion guide 530 is inserted into the guide groove 430. Since the protrusion guide 530 is formed to protrude further than the clip portion 521 and is formed to be spaced apart from the clip portion 521 in the second direction, the clip portion 521 may not contact the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400 until the protrusion guide 530 is inserted into the guide groove 430. The protrusion guide 530 may prevent the clip portion 521 from being caught by and damaged by the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400. As such, the protrusion guide 530 may prevent the clip portion 521 of the clip member 520 from contacting the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400 until it is inserted into the guide groove 430. For example, when the clip portion 521 of the clip member 520 is in a position to be elastically deformed by the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400, the guide groove 430 may be formed at a position to accommodate the protrusion guide 530. The clip portion 521 of the clip member 520 may be elastically deformed by contacting the contact surface 421 of the inner wall portion 420. Therefore, when the clip portion 521 starts to contact the contact surface 421 of the inner wall portion 420, the risk of the clip portion 521 being caught and damaged by the inner wall portion 420 may be reduced. In the case where the clip portion 521 contacts the contact surface 421 of the inner wall portion 420 when the protrusion guide 530 starts to be inserted into the guide groove 430, the clip portion 521 may not be caught by the inner wall portion 420 and may not be damaged by the inner wall portion 420.

[0085] For example, Figure 8c As shown, the formation position of the guide groove 430 may be determined so that the distance B from the end of the inner wall portion 420 to the start portion of the guide groove 430 is greater than the distance A between the protrusion guide 530 and the clip portion 521. In the case where the formation position of the guide groove 430 is determined in this manner, before the protrusion guide 530 is inserted into the guide groove 430, the clip portion 521 may not be caught on the inner wall portion 420.

[0086] like Figure 9a and Figure 9b As shown, in a state where the printed circuit board 500 is completely mounted on the mounting portion 410 of the housing 400, the clip portion 521 of the clip member 520 may contact the pad portion 440 provided on the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400. In another embodiment, the clip portion 521 of the clip member 520 may directly contact the inner wall portion 420 of the housing 400. The connector 540 may be inserted into the opening portion 460 formed in the inner wall portion 420. The protrusion guide 530 may be inserted into the guide groove 430.

[0087] According to various embodiments, the position where the guide groove 430 is formed may be determined so that the separation distance between the guide groove 430 and the protrusion guide 530 (eg, Figure 9b C) is less than the distance from the lower surface of the clip portion 521 to the upper surface of the clip member 520 when the printed circuit board 500 is mounted on the mounting portion 410 (for example, Figure 9b D).
