Abstract
An electronic apparatus is provided which enables miniaturization and has not only good electromagnetic shielding characteristics but also good resistance to impact. The electronic apparatus includes: an instrument case having an upper case and a case back, an electromagnetic shielding body which is contained in the instrument case, and electronic members, for example, an analog board, a digital board and the like, which are disposed in the shielding body. The body comprises a pair of half body members of shielding material. One of the pair is a first shielding member having a standing and surrounding periphery and an opening at an end. The other of the pair is a second shielding member having a standing and surrounding periphery and an opening at an end. The openings and of the first and second shielding members are opposed to each other so that they can be coupled with each other by fitting one of the standing and surrounding peripheries into the other thereof. An electromagnetic shielding partition member is disposed between a part, e.g., the analog board, of the electronic members and the other part, e.g., the digital board thereof. Outside one of the half body members, an antenna is provided.
