Sim card mounting structure for use in a mobile phone

摘要

A SIM card mounting structure for use in a mobile phone includes a SIM card receiving recess 5 provided in a rear surface portion of a front casing of a mobile phone for receiving a SIM card 1 therein, a pressing portion 3 of the structure being formed of an elastic material and having one end integrally formed with the rear surface portion of the front casing and the other end being positioned over the SIM card receiving recess to press the SIM card 1 and electrode terminals 2 together for connecting the electrodes of the SIM card 1 to a battery. The electrode terminals 2 are made of an elastic material and are arranged on the bottom of the recess 5 in an opposing relation to the electrodes of the SIM card 1. The one end of the pressing portion is formed integrally on an end portion of the SIM card receiving recess 5 in a longitudinal direction of the mobile phone such that the pressing portion functions as a longitudinal leaf spring. The pressing portion 3 has a notch 4 for setting the elasticity of the pressing portion and for facilitating the handling operation of a SIM card.
