Abstract:
1. A connecting structure of a second electronic device, the connecting structure comprising: a second electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield; a second signal line enclosed by the second EMI shield and connected to a first signal line when hot docking with a first electronic device comprising a first EMI shield, a processor enclosed by the first EMI shield, the first signal line enclosed by the first EMI shield and connected to the processor, and a first signal earth line enclosed by the first EMI shield and connected to the processor; a second signal earth line enclosed by the second EMI shield and connected to the first signal earth line when hot docking; an EMI connecting portion connected to the second EMI shield and comprising a good conductor connected to the first EMI shield when hot docking; and an electrostatic discharge (ESD) contact portion comprising conductive rubber formed outside of the EMI connecting portion and co-axial with the EMI connecting portion, connected to the second EMI shield, higher in impedance than the EMI connecting portion, and coming in contact with the first EMI shield earlier than the EMI connecting portion at the time of hot docking and withdrawing to expose the EMI connecting portion in response to the ESD contact portion being pressed against the first EMI shield such that the EMI connecting portion comes in contact with the first EMI shield.
