Abstract
A connecting device connecting a car antenna to the internal circuit of a portable telephone directly without going through a reed or a printed circuit board (PCB) trace. The connecting device is disposed in proximity to the antenna of the portable telephone. The car antenna is coupled to a connector which is to be disposed in a receiving portion formed in proximity to the antenna of the portable telephone. The connecting device includes a circuit board on which an internal circuit is mounted disposed in the portable telephone; a switch element which is electrically connected to the internal circuit and is mounted on the circuit board; and a connecting member mounted on the circuit board. The connecting member can electrically connect the switch element to the connector of the car antenna when the connector is received in the receiving portion and can electrically connect the switch element to the antenna of the portable telephone when the connector is not received in the receiving portion.
