A device shielding a circuit located over a substrate includes a band formed from side faces of the device for encompassing the circuit. A top surface of the shielding device is removably located over the band. The side faces are inclined to allow stacking of another shielding device on the band of the original shielding device after removal of the top surface while maintaining shielding of the circuit.

A device includes a housing, a built-in electric printed circuit board and a set of keys positioned near to a wall of the housing. At least a key portion movable by depression, positioned substantially perpendicularly to the wall, is present inside the housing and, aligned to the key portion, a first moving contact actuator portion, as well as a cooperating contact portion that makes breakable electrical contact with the printed circuit board. The depressible key portion is positioned on a first face of a first portion of an elastic carrier plate inside the housing and the first moving contact actuator portion is positioned on the facing second face. The contact portion is connected to a first face of the elastic carrier plate facing the printed circuit board. A second moving contact actuator portion is present on the second face of the second portion of the elastic carrier plate and is aligned to the contact portion. The first contact actuator portion cooperates with the second contact actuator portion and moves the second contact actuator portion in the direction of the contact portion.

An electronic equipment includes a contact device for establishing electrical contact between a liquid crystal display and a printed circuit board of the electronic equipment. The contact device has an elastic sheet. Keys of the electronic equipment itself are molded in the elastic sheet which also includes a tab with contact tracks on its back face. The contact tracks of the tab provide electrical connection between the display and the printed circuit board.

Contact device between a liquid crystal display and a printed circuit

The invention discloses a device for realizing a power supply contact between printed circuits on a printed circuit board and a current source. The device includes a casing and an electronic board which has a metallic surface connected to a power supply contact, on the one hand, and to circuits to be supplied with electric power on the other. The printed circuit board is kept on the casing by at least one securing means secured to the printed circuit board on the metallic surface and secured to the casing on a securing surface. The securing means has a conducting part between the power supply contact and the metallic surface for leading the power from the power supply contact to the circuits to be supplied with power.

Electronic device comprising an accumulator and a power supply contact

A portable electronic device has a housing, a printed circuit board within the housing, and an antenna. The printed circuit board has two parts, a first part to be electrically coupled to the antenna, and a second part with electronic circuitry that, before assembly of the portable electronic device, is mechanically coupled to the first part via a weak spot. The first and second parts are electrically connected to each other. Upon assembly of the portable electronic device, the first and second parts are mechanically separated from each other while still being electrically connected to each other. The first part is then fastened to a housing part of the portable electronic device, and the antenna is electrically connected to the fastened first part.
