For example, the side wall (360) of the shield can (340) may include a second opening (365-2) between the third portion (363) and the fourth portion (364).
[0121] In one embodiment, the second portion (312) of the conductive bar (310) may be located between the third portion (363) of the side wall (360) and the fourth portion (364) of the side wall (360). For example, the second portion (312) of the conductive bar (310) may be located within the second opening (365-2) between the third portion (363) of the side wall (360) and the fourth portion (364) of the side wall (360). For example, but not limited to, the second portion (312) of the conductive bar (310) may be substantially parallel to the third portion (363) of the side wall (360) and / or the fourth portion (364) of the side wall (360).
[0122] In one embodiment, the second portion (312) of the conductive bar (310) may be spaced apart from the shield can (340). For example, the second portion (312) of the conductive bar (310) may be spaced apart from the third portion (363) of the side wall (360) and the fourth portion (364) of the side wall (360). For example, the second portion (312) of the conductive bar (310) may be spaced apart from the third portion (363) of the side wall (360) and the fourth portion (364) of the side wall (360) through an insulating material (e.g., air). Accordingly, the second portion (312) of the conductive bar (310) may be electrically insulated from the shield can (340).
[0123] Figure 4 shows a printed circuit board of an electronic device according to a comparative example.
[0124] Referring to FIG. 4, an electronic device according to a comparative example may include a printed circuit board (490). An electronic component (392) and a connector (394) may be disposed on the printed circuit board (490). Additionally, an electrical path (421) for supplying power to the electronic component (392) may be formed on the printed circuit board (490). The electrical path (421) may extend between the connector (394) and the electronic component (392) to separate a first region (401) and a second region (402) of the printed circuit board (490). Accordingly, the degree of freedom in the wiring design of the printed circuit board (490) may be reduced.
[0125] As the functionality of electronic devices becomes increasingly advanced and the number of components mounted on the printed circuit board (490) increases, the implementation of many wirings within the limited area of the printed circuit board (490) is required. However, due to the electrical path (421) which reduces the degree of freedom in wiring design of the printed circuit board (490) of the comparative example, bypass wiring that wastes the area of the printed circuit board (490) may occur. As a result, it may be difficult to comply with the layout guide (e.g., wiring width and spacing with other wirings) to provide optimal performance for each component mounted on the printed circuit board (490), and consequently, the performance of the components mounted on the printed circuit board (490) may deteriorate.
[0126] Referring to FIG. 3a together with FIG. 4, according to one embodiment, the electrical path (421) of the printed circuit board (490) of the comparative example is replaced with a conductive bar (310) on the shield can (340), thereby expanding the wiring area of the printed circuit board (390) of the electronic device (200) and improving the degree of freedom in the wiring design of the printed circuit board (390).
[0127] FIG. 5a shows a printed circuit board of an electronic device according to one embodiment. FIG. 5b is an exploded view of a conductive bar attached to a shield can according to one embodiment. FIG. 5c is an enlarged view showing a first portion of a conductive bar according to one embodiment. FIG. 5d is an enlarged view showing a second portion of a conductive bar according to one embodiment.
[0128] Referring to FIGS. 5a and 5b, an electronic device (200) according to one embodiment may include a conductive bar (510), an insulating material (570), and a shield can (540). For the conductive bar (510), the insulating material (570), and the shield can (540), the description provided with reference to the aforementioned conductive bar (310), the insulating material (370), and the shield can (340) may be applied substantially the same, similarly, or in a corresponding manner, respectively.
[0129] For example, referring to FIG. 5b, the shield can (540) may include a top wall (550) (e.g., top wall (350)) forming the top surface (550A) (e.g., top surface (350A)) of the shield can (540) and a side wall (560) (e.g., side wall (360)) extending from the edge portion of the top wall (550) to the printed circuit board (390). The top wall (550) may have a recess (555) (e.g., recess (355)) formed by a horizontal portion (553) (e.g., horizontal portion (353)) and vertical portions (551 and 552) (e.g., vertical portions (351 and 352)) on both sides of the horizontal portion (553). The conductive bar (510) may include a first part (511) (e.g., first part (311)), a second part (512) (e.g., second part (312)), and a third part (513) (e.g., third part (313)) connecting the first part (511) and the second part (512). An insulating material (570) may be attached to a horizontal part (553) so as to be located within a recess (555), and the third part (513) of the conductive bar (510) may be attached to the insulating material (570) so as to be spaced apart from the shield can (540). The conductive bar (510) attached to the insulating material (570) may be located within the recess (555) of the shield can (540). The conductive bar (510) may be electrically insulated from the shield can (540).
[0130] For example, referring to FIGS. 5c and FIGS. 5d, the conductive bar (510) may be electrically connected to the printed circuit board (390). For example, a first portion (511) of the conductive bar (510) may be electrically connected to a fourth conductive pad of the printed circuit board (390) (e.g., the first conductive pad (1198-1) of FIG. 11a), and a second portion (512) of the conductive bar (510) may be electrically connected to a fifth conductive pad of the printed circuit board (390) (e.g., the second conductive pad (1198-2) of FIG. 11a). The conductive bar (510) may be configured to transmit a signal (or electrical signal) from the fourth conductive pad of the printed circuit board (390) to the fifth conductive pad of the printed circuit board (390). The current flowing through the conductive bar (510) can generate a magnetic field. The magnetic field generated from the conductive bar (510) can be configured to cancel out other magnetic fields that may affect the performance of other electronic components. This will be described later with reference to FIG. 6.
[0131] For example, the side wall (560) may include a first part (561) (e.g., first part (361)) and a second part (562) (e.g., second part (362)) spaced apart from the first part (561) through a first opening (565-1) (e.g., first opening (365-1)). Additionally, the side wall (560) may include a third part (563) (e.g., third part (363)) and a fourth part (564) (e.g., fourth part (364)) spaced apart from the third part (563) through a second opening (565-2) (e.g., second opening (365-2)).
[0132] For example, the first portion (511) of the conductive bar (510) may be located within the first opening (565-1) between the first portion (561) of the side wall (560) and the second portion (562) of the side wall (560) so as to be spaced apart from the shield can (540). For example, the second portion (512) of the conductive bar (510) may be located within the second opening (565-2) between the third portion (563) of the side wall (560) and the fourth portion (564) of the side wall (560) so as to be spaced apart from the shield can (540).
[0133] FIG. 6 is a drawing showing a printed circuit board of an electronic device and a speaker adjacent to the printed circuit board according to one embodiment.
[0134] Referring to FIG. 6, according to one embodiment, the electronic device (200) may include a speaker (or speaker module) (696) adjacent to an edge portion (692) of a printed circuit board (390). A conductive bar (510) may be substantially parallel to the edge portion (692) of the printed circuit board (390).
[0135] A return current (C1) adjacent to the speaker (696) can flow through the printed circuit board (390). For example, the return current (C1) can flow through a conductive layer (e.g., a ground layer) of the printed circuit board (390). The return current (C1) can generate a magnetic field (H1). Due to the magnetic field (H1), noise may be generated in the speaker (696), which includes a magnet and a coil.
[0136] Through the conductive bar (510), a current (C2) in the opposite direction to the return current (C1) can flow. The current (C2) flowing in the opposite direction to the return current (C1) can generate a magnetic field (H2) that cancels out the magnetic field (H1) caused by the return current (C1). Accordingly, the performance degradation of the speaker (696) caused by the magnetic field (H1) can be reduced and / or prevented. The speaker (696) may be referred to as an electronic component including a magnet and / or a coil.
[0137] Referring to FIG. 4 in conjunction with FIG. 6, an electronic device according to a comparative example may include electrical paths (422 and 423) of a printed circuit board (490). The electrical paths (422 and 423) may include redundant paths to offset the magnetic field (H1) caused by a return current (C1), regardless of their original use, such as signal transmission. Accordingly, an area of the printed circuit board (490) may be unnecessarily wasted. In contrast, according to one embodiment, the electrical paths (422 and 423) of the comparative example are replaced by a conductive bar (510) on a shield can (540), thereby expanding the wiring area of the printed circuit board (390) of the electronic device (200) and improving the degree of freedom in the wiring design of the printed circuit board (390).
[0138] FIG. 7a shows a printed circuit board of an electronic device according to one embodiment. FIG. 7b is a cross-sectional view along line 7B-7B' of FIG. 7a.
[0139] Referring to FIGS. 7a and 7b, according to one embodiment, an electronic device (200) may include a conductive bar (710), an insulating material (770), and a shield can (740).
[0140] The conductive bar (710) may be an example of the aforementioned conductive bar (310) or conductive bar (510). For example, the conductive bar (710) may include a first part (711) (e.g., first parts (311 or 511)), a second part (712) (e.g., second parts (312 or 512)), and a third part (713) (e.g., third parts (313 or 513)).
[0141] The shield can (740) may be an example of the aforementioned shield can (340) or shield can (540). For example, the shield can (740) may include a top wall (750) (e.g., top walls (350 or 550)) and a side wall (760) (e.g., side walls (360 or 560)). For example, the side wall (760) may include a first part (761) (e.g., first parts (361 or 561)), a second part (762) (e.g., second parts (362 or 562)), a third part (763) (e.g., third parts (363 or 563)), and a fourth part (764) (e.g., fourth parts (364 or 564)). The insulating material (770) may be an example of the insulating material (370) or insulating material (570) described above.
[0142] In the previous drawings, the first portions (311 and 511) of the conductive bars (310 and 510) were described as being electrically connected to the printed circuit board (390) through soldering, but are not limited thereto.
[0143] For example, the electronic device (200) may include a first connector (781). The first connector (781) may be placed on a printed circuit board (390). For example, the first connector (781) may be attached to a conductive pad (e.g., the first conductive pad or the fourth conductive pad) of the printed circuit board (390) (e.g., via soldering). A first portion (711) of the conductive bar (710) may extend from a third portion (713) of the conductive bar (710) toward the printed circuit board (390) (e.g., to the first connector (781). The first portion (711) of the conductive bar (710) may be electrically connected to the conductive pad of the printed circuit board (390) through the first connector (781). For example, a first portion (711) of the conductive bar (710) may be connected to a first connector (781) and, through connection with the first connector (781), may be electrically connected to the conductive pad of the printed circuit board (390). The first connector (781) may include a clip configured to be connected to, for example, the first portion (711) of the conductive bar (710).
[0144] For example, the first connector (781) may be located between the first part (761) of the side wall (760) and the second part (762) of the side wall (760), and may be spaced apart from the first part (761) of the side wall (760) and the second part (762) of the side wall (760).
[0145] The description of the first part (711) of the conductive bar (710) described above may be applied in a corresponding manner to the second part (712) of the conductive bar (710) opposite to the first part (711).
[0146] For example, the electronic device (200) may include a second connector (782). The second connector (782) may be placed on a printed circuit board (390). For example, the second connector (782) may be attached to another conductive pad (e.g., the second conductive pad or the fifth conductive pad) of the printed circuit board (390) (e.g., via soldering). A second portion (712) of the conductive bar (710) may extend from a third portion (713) of the conductive bar (710) toward the printed circuit board (390) (e.g., to the second connector (782). The second portion (712) of the conductive bar (710) may be electrically connected to the other conductive pad of the printed circuit board (390) through the second connector (782). For example, a second portion (712) of the conductive bar (710) may be connected to a second connector (782) and, through connection with the second connector (782), may be electrically connected to the other conductive pad of the printed circuit board (390). The second connector (782) may include a clip configured to be connected to, for example, the second portion (712) of the conductive bar (710).
[0147] For example, the second connector (782) may be located between the third part (763) of the side wall (760) and the fourth part (764) of the side wall (760), and may be spaced apart from the third part (763) of the side wall (760) and the fourth part (764) of the side wall (760).
[0148] FIG. 8a shows a printed circuit board of an electronic device according to one embodiment. FIG. 8b is a cross-sectional view along line 8B-8B' of FIG. 8a.
[0149] Referring to FIG. 8a and FIG. 8b, according to one embodiment, an electronic device (200) may include a conductive bar (810), an insulating material (870), a shield can (840), a first connector (881), and a second connector (882).
[0150] The conductive bar (810) may be an example of the aforementioned conductive bar (310), conductive bar (510), or conductive bar (710). For example, the conductive bar (810) may include a first part (811) (e.g., first parts (311, 511, or 711)), a second part (812) (e.g., second parts (312, 512, or 712)), and a third part (813) (e.g., third parts (313, 513, or 713)).
[0151] The shield can (840) may be an example of the aforementioned shield can (340), shield can (540), or shield can (740). For example, the shield can (840) may include a top wall (850) (e.g., top walls (350, 550, or 750)) and a side wall (860) (e.g., side walls (360, 560, or 760)). For example, the side wall (860) may include a first part (861) (e.g., first parts (361, 561, or 761)), a second part (862) (e.g., second parts (362, 562, or 762)), a third part (863) (e.g., third parts (363, 563, or 763)), and a fourth part (864) (e.g., fourth parts (364, 564, or 764)).
[0152] The insulating material (870) may be an example of the aforementioned insulating material (370), insulating material (570), or insulating material (770). The first connector (881) may be an example of the aforementioned first connector (781). The second connector (882) may be an example of the aforementioned second connector (782).
[0153] In the previous drawings, the first portions (361, 561, or 761) of the side walls (360, 560, or 760) were described as being separated from the second portions (362, 562, or 762), but are not limited thereto. Also, between the first portions (361, 561, or 761) of the side walls (360, 560, or 760) and the second portions (362, 562, or 762), the first portions (311, 511, or 711) of the conductive bars (310, 510, or 710) and the first connector (781) were described as being located, but are not limited thereto.
[0154] For example, the side wall (860) of the shield can (840) may further include a portion (866) that extends from a portion of the top wall (850) of the shield can (840) to the printed circuit board (390) and connects a first portion (861) of the side wall (860) and a second portion (862) of the side wall (860). By the portion (866), an opening (e.g., first openings (365-1 or 565-1)) between the first portion (861) of the side wall (860) and the second portion (862) of the side wall (860) may be closed. If the portion (866) of the side wall (860) comes into contact with the printed circuit board (390), optionally, the portion (866) of the side wall (860) may be soldered to the printed circuit board (390). If the portion (866) of the side wall (860) is not soldered to the printed circuit board (390), the shorting of the shield can (840) to the conductive bar (810) and / or the first connector (881) due to an overflow of solder during the soldering of the portion (866) of the side wall (860) can be reduced and / or prevented.
[0155] Alternatively, a portion (866) of the side wall (860) may be spaced apart from the surface of the printed circuit board (390) so that the opening between the first portion (861) and the second portion (862) of the side wall (860) is partially closed.
[0156] If the side wall (860) of the shield can (840) includes a portion (866), referring to FIG. 8b, the insulating material (870) may include a portion (873) disposed between the top wall (850) of the shield can (840) and a third portion (813) of the conductive bar (810), such as the insulating materials (370, 570, or 770). Additionally, the insulating material (870) may further include a portion (871) connected to one side of the portion (873) and disposed between the portion (866) of the side wall (860) of the shield can (840) and a first portion (811) of the conductive bar (810). The portion (871) of the insulating material (870) may be attached to the portion (866) of the side wall (860). A first portion (811) of the conductive bar (810) may be attached to a portion (871) of the insulating material (870) so as to be spaced apart from the shield can (840). An end of the first portion (811) of the conductive bar (810) facing the printed circuit board (390) may be spaced apart from the printed circuit board (390).
[0157] If the side wall (860) of the shield can (840) includes a portion (866), the first connector (881) may be located outside the side wall (860) of the shield can (840). For example, a first portion (811) of the conductive bar (810) may be located between the first connector (881) and the portion (866) of the side wall (860).
[0158] Unlike the first connector (781) described above, which is connected to the first portion (711) of the conductive bar (710), the first connector (881) can electrically connect the conductive pad of the printed circuit board (390) to which the first connector (881) is attached to the conductive bar (810) by contacting the first portion (811) of the conductive bar (810). For example, the first connector (881) may include a C-clip, an elastic contact, a spring contact, or a spring connector.
[0159] A first portion (811) of the conductive bar (810) may be pressed by a first connector (881). The first portion (811) of the conductive bar (810) pressed by the first connector (881) may be supported by a portion (866) of the side wall (860) of the shield can (840). Accordingly, the reliability of the electrical connection (or contact therefor) between the first connector (881) and the first portion (811) of the conductive bar (810) may be improved.
[0160] The description of the first part (811) of the conductive bar (810) described above may be applied in a corresponding manner to the second part (812) of the conductive bar (810) opposite to the first part (811).
[0161] For example, referring to FIG. 8a and FIG. 8b, the side wall (860) of the shield can (840) may further include a portion (867) that extends from another portion of the top wall (850) of the shield can (840) to the printed circuit board (390) and connects a third portion (863) of the side wall (860) and a fourth portion (864) of the side wall (860). By the portion (867), an opening (e.g., second openings (365-2 or 565-2)) between the third portion (863) of the side wall (860) and the fourth portion (864) of the side wall (860) may be closed. When a portion (867) of the side wall (860) comes into contact with the printed circuit board (390), optionally, the portion (867) of the side wall (860) may be soldered to the printed circuit board (390). When the portion (867) of the side wall (860) is not soldered to the printed circuit board (390), shorting of the shield can (840) to the conductive bar (810) and / or the second connector (882) due to an overflow of solder during soldering of the portion (867) of the side wall (860) may be reduced and / or prevented.
[0162] Alternatively, a portion (867) of the side wall (860) may be spaced apart from the surface of the printed circuit board (390) so that the opening between the third portion (863) and the fourth portion (864) of the side wall (860) is partially closed.
[0163] If the side wall (860) of the shield can (840) includes a portion (867), referring to FIG. 8b, the insulating material (870) may further include a portion (872) connected to the other side of the portion (873) and positioned between the portion (867) of the side wall (860) of the shield can (840) and the second portion (812) of the conductive bar (810). The portion (872) of the insulating material (870) may be attached to the portion (867) of the side wall (860). The second portion (812) of the conductive bar (810) may be attached to the portion (872) of the insulating material (870) so as to be spaced apart from the shield can (840). The end of the second portion (812) of the conductive bar (810) facing the printed circuit board (390) can be spaced apart from the printed circuit board (390).
[0164] If the side wall (860) of the shield can (840) includes a portion (867), the second connector (882) may be located outside the side wall (860) of the shield can (840). For example, a second portion (812) of the conductive bar (810) may be located between the second connector (882) and the portion (867) of the side wall (860).
[0165] Unlike the aforementioned second connector (782) which is connected to the second portion (712) of the conductive bar (710), the second connector (882) can electrically connect the other conductive pad of the printed circuit board (390) to which the second connector (882) is attached to the conductive bar (810) by contacting the second portion (812) of the conductive bar (810). For example, the second connector (882) may include a C-clip, an elastic contact, a spring contact, or a spring connector.
[0166] The second portion (812) of the conductive bar (810) may be pressed by the second connector (882). The second portion (812) of the conductive bar (810) pressed by the second connector (882) may be supported by the portion (867) of the side wall (860) of the shield can (840). Accordingly, the reliability of the electrical connection (or contact therefor) between the second connector (882) and the second portion (812) of the conductive bar (810) may be improved.
[0167] FIG. 9a is a drawing showing a printed circuit board assembly according to one embodiment. FIG. 9b is an enlarged view of the area (R) of FIG. 9a.
[0168] Referring to FIG. 9a, an electronic device (200) according to one embodiment may include a printed circuit board assembly (990) (e.g., a printed circuit board (390)). For example, the printed circuit board assembly (990) may include a first printed circuit board (991), a second printed circuit board (992) spaced apart from the first printed circuit board (991), and an interposer (993) interposed between the first printed circuit board (991) and the second printed circuit board (992) to structurally and electrically connect the first printed circuit board (991) and the second printed circuit board (992).
[0169] The first printed circuit board (991) may include a first surface (991A) and a second surface (991B) opposite to the first surface (991A) and facing the second printed circuit board (992). The second printed circuit board (992) may include a first surface (992A) facing the first printed circuit board (991) and a second surface (992B) opposite to the first surface (992A). The interposer (993) may extend from the second surface (991B) of the first printed circuit board (991) to the first surface (992A) of the second printed circuit board (992).
