Abstract:
1. A transmission device arranged in an electronic apparatus having a circuit board for input and/or output and a conductive body, comprising: a relay cable having first and second ends, the first end of the relay cable being connected to the circuit board; and a receptacle type connector provided at the second end of the relay cable and attached to a reverse surface of the body of the electronic apparatus, the receptacle type connector comprising an insulative connector housing holding a plurality of contacts, and a conductive metal shell surrounding at least a part of the connector housing, the conductive metal shell including an elastic tongue member and a cylindrical section defining an insertion recess for access to the plurality of contacts, the elastic tongue member in a normal state and the cylindrical section being disposed forward of the insulative connector housing relative to an insertion direction of the transmission device into the electronic apparatus, the conductive metal shell being grounded to the conductive body by contact with the elastic tongue that moved from the normal state to a resiliently biased state against the conductive body and the insulative connector housing being disposed between the plurality of contacts and the conductive metal shell.
