ABSTRACT:
A battery terminal holding structure of the present invention and applicable to a miniature electronic apparatus includes a casing for accommodating a battery, and a printed circuit board loaded with electronic parts. A positive and a negative battery terminal each having resiliency and conductivity are affixed to the casing at one end and to the circuit board at the other end. The two battery terminals each includes ribs and bent portions. When the ribs of the battery terminals are inserted in notches formed in the circuit board, the bent portions of the terminals resiliently nip and press associated electrodes provided on the circuit board so as to set up electrical connection. Another rib extends out from each battery terminal and is inserted in a groove formed in the casing, positioning the circuit board relative to the casing. The battery has its positive and negative terminals respectively held in contact with the battery terminals within the casing. Such a structure makes it needless to solder the battery terminals to the circuit board and thereby saves cost while promoting recycling of the structural elements.
