A mobile terminal comprises: a case that has an insertion hole formed on a side surface thereof; a metal beam that includes a side metal covering the side surface of the case, and a connection bridge penetrating the insertion hole and extending towards the inside of the case from the side metal; a fixing device that is inserted into a fixing hole formed on the connection bridge so as to be fastened to the case; and a waterproof packing that is interposed between the side surface of the case and the side metal, and that has an opening part through which the connection bridge passes. As a result, water cannot get inside the terminal, and malfunctioning due to water permeation can be prevented thereby.

Mobile terminal

The durability of a mobile terminal can be improved by improving the heat-dissipating performance thereof, the mobile terminal comprising an inner space and having a camera hole formed on the rear surface thereof; a substrate located in the inner space and having an electric element mounted thereon; a camera module including a lens part and mounted at a location corresponding to the camera hole; a deco frame, which includes a lens hole for exposing a lens part of the camera module and a heat-dissipating hole formed on the circumference of the lens hole, and is inserted into the camera hole; and a heat-dissipating sheet located in the inner space and including a heat-absorbing part coming in contact with the electric element, a heat-dissipating part located on the inner side of the deco frame and covering the heat-dissipating hole, and a heat transfer part connecting the heat absorbing part and the heat-dissipating part.

A mobile terminal is disclosed. The mobile terminal includes a body; a body hole formed in the body, the body hole communicating an inside and an outside of the body; and a waterproof unit positioned and movable in the body hole, the waterproof unit including: a rod extended in a communicating direction of the body hole; a stopper connected to an end of the rod, a portion of the stopper having a inclined shape with respect to a longitudinal direction of the rod; and a packing ring surrounding the rod, the packing ring sealing the body hole.

A mobile terminal includes: a rib configured to protrude within a terminal body; and a connector installed in the rib and configured to electrically connect a printed circuit board (PCB) installed within the terminal body and a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) supported by at least one side wall of the rib, wherein the connector includes: a housing formed of an insulating material and configured to include an accommodation portion covering the rib; and a terminal installed in the housing and including a first contact portion in contact with the FPCB accommodated within the accommodation portion and a second contact portion configured to be bent and extend from the first contact portion so as to be in contact with the PCB.
