Abstract
The invention provides a housing for an electronic apparatus whose components can be worked through a reduced number of steps without deteriorating the shielding performance against electromagnetic waves. The housing for an electronic apparatus includes a plurality of metal plates including a first metal plate and a second metal plate and each having a coated face coated over an overall area thereof and a non-coated face. The metal plates are assembled to form the housing such that the coated faces thereof are exposed as outer faces to the outside of the housing. The first metal plate is bent back at a portion thereof such that the non-coated face thereof is exposed to the outside to form a contact portion on a side edge of the first metal plate. The first metal plate is coupled to the second metal plate with the non-coated face of the contact portion thereof held in contact with the non-coated face of the second metal plate to establish electric connection between the first and second metal plates.
