Abstract
An electronic apparatus in which grounding can be achieved between a casing of the main body portion of the apparatus and a slide tray mounted on the casing for being extracted forwards via an opening surface of the casing. To this end, the electronic apparatus includes a slide tray mounted on the casing of the main body portion of the apparatus for being extracted forwards via an opening surface of the casing and carrying electrical components in need of electrical conduction with respect to the main body portion, and an electrically conductive ejection plate electrically conductively connected with an electrically conductive main body portion of a tray and supported on the slide tray for movement in the fore-and-aft direction. The electronic apparatus also includes an electrically conductive roll supported via an electrically conductive spring plate on the ejection plate and adapted for rolling on an electrically conductive bottom plate of the casing of the main body portion.
