Abstract
Abstract The present invention provides a cellular phone comprising: a housing having front and rear casings wherein the rear casing comprises a metallic layer coated on an inner side of the rear casing for insulating electromagnetic radiation, a circuit board installed in the housing having a board surface and an antenna connector installed at an upper end of the board surface, an antenna installed at an upper end of the housing and electrically connected with the antenna connector at the upper end of the board surface for receiving or emitting electromagnetic radiation, and an elastic conductor. When the front and rear casings are connected, the elastic conductor is elastically clamped between the board surface of the circuit board and the metallic layer on the inner side of the rear casing so that the metallic layer on the inner side of the rear casing, the upper end of the board surface and the elastic conductor will form an insulating envelope for preventing electromagnetic radiation emitted from the antenna connector from interfering with circuits of the cellular phone which are positioned inside the housing of the cellular phone and outside the insulating envelope.
