Abstract:
1. An electronic device comprising: a metal housing with an opening; a metal lid that is attached to the housing so as to cover the opening; a first substrate that is fixed in the metal housing and is in a first plane parallel to the opening; two connectors parallel to each other, to each of which a second substrate different from the first substrate is inserted individually in opposite directions, the two connectors being fixed in the metal housing between the opening and the first substrate, in a second plane parallel to the opening, a predetermined space between the two connectors being preserved when in one of the two connectors or both the second substrate is inserted, the predetermined space not including any part of the one of the two connectors or both; and a metal plate member disposed in the predetermined space and fastened to the metal housing, to provide a resilient contact with a surface of the first substrate, thereby electrically connecting a ground of the first substrate to the metal housing, wherein the metal plate member includes a base part and two resilient contact pieces, the base part being disposed in the space such that the base part is spread parallel to the two connectors and both ends of the base part is fastened to the housing, the two resilient contact pieces being spread from the respective ends of the base part toward a substantial center of the base part while facing the first substrate so that tips of the resilient contact pieces contact the first substrate.
