The terminal body includes a first body portion and a second body portion, and a thickness of the first body portion is formed to be greater than a thickness of the second body portion. The battery cover is provided with a locking portion and a lock mechanism portion that can be attached to the terminal body. The connection member includes a first connection portion and a second connection portion and includes thick first and second regions, a thin third region, and a bent portion. When the battery cover is attached to the terminal body, the bent portion is bent and the connection member is stored in a space.

Electronic apparatus

Electronic apparatus is provided with main body, and inner battery cover and additional module which are attachable and detachable in relation to main body. Battery is stored in opening portion of housing, recessed portion is formed in vertical surface which stands substantially vertically from main surface, and first terminal is formed on inner portion of recessed portion. Connecting surface which comes into contact with vertical surface is formed on additional module, and second terminal which is electrically connected to first terminal is formed on connecting surface. In a state in which additional module is attached to main body, second terminal is positioned on an inner portion of recessed portion and is connected to first terminal, and thus, reliable and firm attachment is performed.

An electronic device includes a housing, a circuit board contained in the hosing, a pin, and a fitting member. The pin is inserted, from outside, in a through-hole formed in a wall of the housing, and has a head which is exposed to the outside and a shaft portion which projects into an inside space of the housing. The fitting member has a linear shape, and is formed with a nip spring portion and a circuit board contact portion. The nip spring portion nips the shaft portion elastically in its radial direction in the inside space of the housing to contact with the pin projected as a contact. The circuit board contact portion is in contact with a contact of the circuit board.
