Description

[0001] The present invention relates to an electric shock protection device and a portable electronic device having the same,

The present invention relates to an electric shock protection device and a portable electronic device having the same, and more particularly, to an electric shock protection device that protects a user from a leakage current by a power source, protects an internal circuit from external static electricity, minimizes attenuation of a communication signal, And a portable electronic device having the same.

Recently, the adoption of a metal-made housing has been increasing in order to improve aesthetics and robustness of portable electronic devices.

However, since the metal housing is excellent in electrical conductivity due to the nature of the material, an electrical path can be formed between the housing and the built-in circuit depending on the specific device or depending on the location. Particularly, since the metal housing and the circuit part form a loop, when a static electricity having a high voltage instantaneously flows through a conductor such as a metal housing having a large exposed surface area, the circuit part such as an IC can be damaged, Measures are required.

On the other hand, such a portable electronic device typically uses a charger to charge the battery. Such a charger rectifies an external AC power source to a DC power source and then through a transformer to a low DC power source suitable for a portable electronic device. Here, in order to enhance the electrical insulation of the transformer, a Y-CAP composed of a capacitor is provided at both ends of the transformer.

However, when the Y-CAP does not have the normal characteristics, such as a non-genuine charger, the DC power may not be sufficiently blocked by the Y-CAP, and furthermore, a leakage current may be generated by the AC power source. Can propagate along the ground of the circuit.

Such a leakage current can be transmitted to a conductor that can be contacted with a human body as in an external case of a portable electronic device. As a result, the user can give an unpleasant feeling of crushing and, in severe cases, You can wear it.

Therefore, a portable electronic device such as a cellular phone employing a metal case is required to protect the user from such a leakage current.

Meanwhile, the portable electronic device having the metal-made housing has a plurality of antennas according to function, and at least a part of the antennas is an internal antenna. The portable electronic device is disposed in the external housing of the portable electronic device, It is a tendency to use it as an antenna.

In such a case, the antenna and the internal circuit of the portable electronic device must be connected. At this time, the communication signal must be smoothly transmitted to the internal circuit without attenuation.

However, as described above, when the capacitance of a corresponding device is increased to effectively transmit a communication signal, there is a problem that the device is destroyed by external static electricity and thus the device is damaged.

Furthermore, as described above, it is difficult to realize the implementation of a high breakdown voltage for interrupting the leakage current due to the external power supply and the implementation of the high capacity capacitance for transmitting the communication signal, because of the opposite effect. Therefore, there is a demand for a protection against static electricity, a prevention of leakage current, and a high capacitance at the same time.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. The present invention may be embodied in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. In order to clearly illustrate the present invention, parts not related to the description are omitted, and the same reference numerals are assigned to the same or similar components throughout the specification.

The electric shock protection device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the electric shock protection unit 110 and the capacitor units 120a and 120b as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, (110) may be a prepressor.

The electric shock protection element 100 is disposed between the human body contactable conductor of the electronic device and the internal circuit part so as to pass the static electricity without insulation breakdown when the static electricity flows from the electric conductor 12, (Vb) that satisfies the following equation to pass a communication signal flowing from the conductor (12): < EMI ID = 1.0 >

Vbr> Vin, Vcp> Vbr

Here, Vbr is the breakdown voltage of the electric shock protection element, Vin is the rated voltage of the external power supply of the electronic device, and Vcp is the breakdown voltage of the capacitor portion.

At this time, the rated voltage may be a standard rated voltage for each country, for example, 240V, 110V, 220V, 120V, 110V, and 100V.

The breakdown voltage Vbr means a breakdown voltage (or trigger voltage) of the electric shock protection unit. The breakdown voltage Vbr is the breakdown voltage of the electric shock protection unit (or trigger voltage) , And a layer of a discharge material.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the electric shock protection device 100 includes a capacitor unit 110 including a first electric element 110, a second electric element 110, a second electric element 110, a second electric element 120, (120a, 120b).

The capacitor units 120a and 120b may be electrically connected in parallel to the electric shock protection unit 110 to pass the communication signal from the electric conductor 12 such as an antenna without attenuation. For example, the capacitor portions 120a and 120b may be disposed on at least one of the upper and lower portions of the electric shock protection portion 110, or both the upper portion and the lower portion. The dielectric breakdown voltage (Vcp) of the capacitor unit is applied to the outside of the electronic device to cut off the leakage current, particularly the DC component, of the external power source flowing from the ground of the circuit unit, May be greater than the rated voltage (Vbr) of the power source. At this time. The dielectric breakdown voltage Vcp of the capacitor portion is formed at both ends of the capacitor electrode included in the capacitor portion. In the case of the capacitor portion where the plurality of capacitor electrodes are disposed apart from each other, the dielectric breakdown voltage is a voltage at which a plurality of capacitor electrodes are connected in parallel And are formed between the respective capacitor electrodes as they are.

A plurality of sheet layers 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128 having capacitor electrodes 122a, 123a, 124a, 125a, 125a, 126a, 127a, 128a are sequentially stacked on the capacitors 120a, 120b, A plurality of electrodes provided on one surface may be arranged so as to face each other, and then a first body may be formed through a sintering or curing process so as to be integrally formed. Alternatively, the first body may be formed through a sintering or curing process after disposing the electrodes so as to have the electrode structures of the capacitor portions 120a and 120b in one sheet. At this time, the first elementary body may have a dielectric constant of 20 F / m or more, preferably a dielectric constant of 35 F / m or more so as to prevent attenuation of a communication signal passing therethrough, So that the blocking ability of the DC component in the leakage current of the capacitor portion is improved and the breakdown voltage of the external power supply of the electronic device can be higher than that of the external power supply of the electronic device, Or may not be destroyed by static electricity. Further, it may be more advantageous to implement the device so as to be more downsized. If the dielectric constant is less than 20 F / m, there is a problem of attenuating the reception sensitivity of a communication signal in a communication signal, for example, a mobile wireless communication frequency band. In order to realize a capacitor using a low dielectric constant body with a fixed capacitance, the distance between the electrodes must be remarkably narrowed. In this case, if there is a defect (including pores) in the body located between the electrodes, It may be highly undesirable to composite the capacitor unit designed with the electric shock protection unit so that the distance between the electrodes is remarkably narrowed due to the possibility that the dielectric breakdown may be significantly increased. Further, the breakdown of the leakage current and / or the circuit protection function from static electricity may be degraded or lost as the breakdown voltage Vcp of the capacitor becomes lower than the rated voltage of the external power supply of the electronic device and the capacitor portion is destroyed by insulation.

The first elementary bodies 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, and 128 may be made of a dielectric material and may be used without limitations in the case of a dielectric material having a dielectric constant of 20 F / m or more. For example, the dielectric forming the first body may be formed of a ceramic material and a magnetic material including low temperature sintered ceramics (LTCC) and high temperature sintered ceramics (HTCC). In this case, the ceramic material may be an oxide-based ceramic compound or a non-oxide-based ceramic compound, wherein the oxide-based ceramic compound is _{BeO, MgO, LaCrO 3, PbTiO} 3, (Ba, Pb) TiO 3, ZrO 2, Er 2 O _{3, Dy 2 O 3, Ho} 2 O 3, V 2 O 5, CoO, MoO 3, SnO 2, BaTiO 3, Nd 2 O 3, SiO 2, TiO 2, ZnO, SrTiO 3, LiNbO 3, LiTaO 3, Mn-based oxides, Ni-based oxides, Mn-based oxides, Al ₂ O _3, and solid solutions thereof. The non-oxide ceramic compound may include at least one selected from SiC, CdTe, TiC, TiN, B ₄ C, Si ₃ N ₄ , BN, TiB ₂ and AlN. In addition, the magnetic material may be a ferrite compound, and may be used without limitation in the case of conventional soft ferrite. One or more of Ni-Zn ferrite and Mn-Zn ferrite may be included.

The capacitor electrode electrodes 122a, 123a, 124a, 125a, 125a, 126a, 127a and 128a may include any one or more of Ag, Au, Pt, Pd, Ni and Cu. / Pd. In addition, the capacitor electrode may be formed in various shapes and patterns, and one or more of the plurality of capacitor electrodes may be provided in the same pattern or may have different patterns. That is, the capacitor electrode is not limited to the pattern of each capacitor electrode when disposed inside the first element so as to realize the desired capacitance.

 A plurality of capacitor electrodes 122a, 123a, 124a, 125a, 125a, 126a, 127a, and 128a constituting the capacitor units 120a and 120b are formed between a pair of opposing capacitor electrodes, The spacing between the first capacitor electrode 121a and the second capacitor electrode 122a in the first capacitor unit 120a may be in the range of 15 to 100 占 퐉, May be provided to have an interval.

If the distance between the capacitor electrodes is less than 15 mu m, it is difficult to ensure a sufficient capacitance for passing the communication signal of the wireless communication band without attenuation. If the distance exceeds 100 mu m, the distance between the capacitor electrodes is limited, Since the number of stacked sheet layers including the electrode is limited, it is difficult to realize a high capacity capacitor.

At this time, the thickness of each of the capacitor electrodes constituting the capacitor units 120a and 120b may be set to be 1/10 to 1/2 of the gap between the pair of capacitor electrodes facing each other.

For example, when the interval between the pair of capacitor electrodes facing each other is 20 μm, the thickness of the capacitor electrode may be set to be in the range of 2 to 10 μm. Here, if the thickness of the capacitor electrode is 2 mu m or less, it can not serve as an electrode. If the thickness is more than 10 mu m, the thickness of the capacitor electrode becomes thick and the distance between the capacitor electrodes for forming the capacitor portion is limited Since the number of stacked sheet layers including the capacitor electrode is limited, it is difficult to realize a capacitor of a high capacity.

The shortest distance d2 between the free ends of the capacitor electrodes that are not connected to the external electrodes and the external electrodes 131 and 132 is at least 15 mu m and the distance between 15 and 100 mu m is (See FIG. 11).

2, one capacitor electrode 121a is not formed in one sheet layer 121, and one capacitor layer 121a is formed in one sheet layer (not shown) A plurality of capacitor electrodes (not shown) arranged in a line in a row on the plurality of capacitor electrodes, and a plurality of sheet layers each including a plurality of capacitor sheet electrodes on one surface thereof, They may be arranged to face each other so as to have an overlapping area equal to or larger than the area. For example, the number of capacitor electrodes formed in one sheet layer may be two, the spacing distance may be 50 탆, and one of the two capacitor electrodes may be 120 탆 long and 360 탆 wide, One of the two capacitor electrodes included in one sheet layer may have a length of 1010 mu m and a width of 360 mu m and a total of twelve such sheet layers may be stacked, Layers of the two capacitor electrodes included in the layer were stacked so that the overlapped areas of the long length capacitor electrodes included in the two adjacent sheet layers were alternately stacked so as to have a width of 360 x 840 m in length After sintering, the capacitor part can be realized.

As described above, the electric shock protection device 100 is provided with the capacitor portions 120a and 120b so as to pass the static electricity and to block the leakage current of the external power source, and to provide a capacitance suitable for the communication band In particular, as the inclusion of the first element body having a dielectric constant of 20 F / m or more, the desired physical properties are more easily realized and the remarkably improved physical properties can be exhibited. That is, unlike the prior art in which a separate component for increasing RF reception sensitivity is used together with a suppressor, a varistor or a Zener diode for protecting the internal circuit against static electricity by such a capacitor unit, It is possible to increase the RF reception sensitivity as well as to protect the static electricity through the antenna 100. [

The electric shock protection unit 110 includes a plurality of sheet layers 111, 112 and 113 having internal electrodes 111a and 112a and an air gap forming member 115 on one surface thereof, The protective sheet layer 113 is laminated so as to be sandwiched between the sheet layers on which the electrodes are formed and the internal electrodes 111a and 112a provided on one surface of the other two sheet layers are arranged to face each other, And can be integrally formed by forming a body.

The second elementary body may be formed of a dielectric, a specific description thereof is the same as that of the first elementary body, and the dielectric forming the first elementary body and the dielectrics forming the second elementary body may be the same or different.

The internal electrodes 111a and 112a are spaced apart from each other within the second elementary body and may be formed of at least one pair. The internal electrodes 111a and 112a may include any one or more of Ag, Au, Pt, Pd, Ni, and Cu, and the external electrodes 131 and 132 may include any one or more of Ag, Ni, can do.

The first internal electrode 111a and the second internal electrode 112a may be formed in the same pattern or may have different patterns. . That is, the internal electrodes 111a and 112a are not limited to a specific pattern when the first internal electrode 111a and the second internal electrode 112a are disposed so as to overlap with each other when the first internal electrode 111a and the second internal electrode 112a are opposed to each other.

At this time, the intervals between the internal electrodes 111a and 112a, the areas facing each other, or the lengths overlapping with each other may be configured to satisfy the breakdown voltage Vbr of the electric shock protection device 100. For example, The interval between the electrodes 111a and 112a may be 10 to 100 占 퐉. For example, the interval between the internal electrodes 111a and 112a may be 25 占 퐉.

Here, if the interval between the first internal electrode 111a and the second internal electrode 112a is less than 10 mu m, resistance to static electricity may be weakened. If the interval between the first internal electrode 111a and the second internal electrode 112a exceeds 100 占 퐉, the discharge starting voltage (operating voltage) increases and a smooth discharge due to the static electricity is not generated, The function may be lost.

At this time, the thicknesses of the first internal electrode 111a and the second internal electrode 112a may be 2-10 탆. If the thicknesses of the first internal electrode 111a and the second internal electrode 112a are less than 2 占 퐉, they can not serve as internal electrodes. If the thickness is more than 10 占 퐉, the distance between the internal electrodes is limited , The volume of the electric shock protection device 100 increases, which may adversely affect miniaturization.

With this configuration, the discharge start voltage (operation voltage) due to the static electricity of the internal electrodes 111a and 112a can be 1 to 15 kV. Here, if the discharge starting voltage of the electric shock protection element 100 is 1 kV or less, it is difficult to secure the immunity against static electricity. If the electric discharge protection voltage is 15 kV or more, the static electricity can not pass therethrough, It can be damaged by static electricity.

On the other hand, between the pair of electrodes 111a and 112a corresponding to each other, a protective sheet layer 113 for protecting static electricity and protecting circuit protection elements and peripheral circuits from overvoltage is disposed.

The protection sheet layer 113 is provided with at least one air gap forming member 115 hollowed between the pair of internal electrodes 111a and 112a. For this purpose, the protection sheet layer 113 may have a through-hole at a position where the gap forming member 115 is provided.

Specifically, the second elementary body may include a first sheet layer 111 having a first internal electrode 111a on an upper surface thereof and a second sheet layer 111 having a second internal electrode 112a on a lower surface thereof. 112 are laminated to each other, and a protective sheet layer 113 is disposed between the first sheet layer 111 and the second sheet layer 112.

That is, the first sheet layer 211, the protective sheet layer 113, and the second sheet layer 112 are sequentially stacked so that the first internal electrode 111a and the second internal electrode 112a can face each other, do.

The first internal electrode 111a and the second internal electrode 112a are arranged to face each other and are spaced apart from each other by the protective sheet layer 213 at a predetermined interval. And the second internal electrode 112a are disposed so that one side thereof is in contact with the gap forming member 115, respectively.

The protective sheet layer 113 disposed between the first sheet layer 111 and the second sheet layer 112 may include at least one through hole.

Here, the through-holes are formed in a region where the first internal electrode 111a and the second internal electrode 112a, which are respectively disposed on the upper and lower sides of the protective sheet layer 113, are overlapped with each other.

At this time, an air gap forming member 115 may be provided in the through hole. The gap forming member 115 may be disposed between the internal electrodes 111a and 112a and may include a layer of the discharge material 125a, 125b, and 125c applied to the inner wall at a predetermined thickness along the height direction.

Alternatively, if the void forming member 115 is not separately provided, the layer of the discharge material may be applied to the inner wall of the through hole with a predetermined thickness along the height direction.

Here, the gap forming member 115 or the discharge material layer coated thereon is provided such that its upper end is in contact with the second inner electrode 112a and its lower end is in contact with the first inner electrode 111a.

By the gap forming member 115, the gap 216 can be formed between the pair of inner electrodes 111a and 112a. The static electricity introduced from the outside by the gap 216 can be discharged between the internal electrodes 111a and 112a. At this time, the electrical resistance between the internal electrodes 111a and 112a is lowered, and the voltage difference between both ends of the electric shock protection device 100 can be reduced to a certain value or less. Therefore, the electric shock protection unit 220 can pass the static electricity without being broken.

Here, the discharge material constituting the discharge material layers 125a, 125b, and 125c must have a low dielectric constant, no conductivity, and no short circuit when an overvoltage is applied.

To this end, the discharge material may be made of a nonconductive material including at least one kind of metal particles, and may be made of a semiconductor material containing SiC or a silicon-based component. In addition, the discharge material may be formed by mixing at least one material selected from SiC, carbon, graphite, and ZnO and at least one material selected from Ag, Pd, Pt, Au, Cu, Ni, It is possible.

For example, when the first internal electrode 111a and the second internal electrode 112a include an Ag component, the discharge material may include a SiC-ZnO-based component. The SiC (Silicon Carbide) component has excellent thermal stability, excellent stability in an oxidizing atmosphere, constant conductivity and heat conductivity, and low dielectric constant.

The ZnO component has excellent nonlinear resistance characteristics and discharge characteristics.

Both SiC and ZnO have conductivity when used separately, but when they are sintered after mixing, ZnO is bonded to the surface of SiC particles to form an insulating layer.

In such an insulating layer, SiC completely reacts to form a SiC-ZnO reaction layer on the surface of the SiC particles. Accordingly, the insulating layer blocks the Ag path to provide a further higher insulating property to the discharge material and improves resistance to static electricity, thereby solving the DC shorting phenomenon when the electric shock protection part 120 is mounted on the electronic part .

Here, it is described that the discharge material includes a SiC-ZnO-based material. However, the discharge material is not limited to the SiC-ZnO based material, and the discharge material may include a component constituting the first internal electrode 111a and the second internal electrode 112a A non-conductive material including a semiconductor material or metal particles may be used

At this time, the discharge material layers 115a, 115b, and 115c applied to the inner wall of the gap forming member 115 include a first portion 115a coated along the height direction of the inner wall of the gap forming member 115, A second portion 115b extending from the upper end of the first portion 115a to be in contact with and facing the first internal electrode 111a along the upper surface of the protective sheet layer 213, And a third portion 115c extending in contact with the second internal electrode 112a along the lower surface of the protective sheet layer 213 to be in contact with the second internal electrode 112a.

As a result, the discharge material layer 115a, 115b, and 115c are separated from the upper and lower ends of the gap forming member 115 as well as the inner wall of the gap forming member 115, The first internal electrode 111a and the second internal electrode 112a are extended to extend the contact area with the first internal electrode 111a and the second internal electrode 112a.

The protective sheet layer 113 may include a plurality of void forming members 115. As described above, when the number of the gap forming members 115 is increased, the discharge path of the static electricity is increased, so that the resistance to static electricity can be increased.

The protective sheet layer 113 disposed between the first sheet layer 111 and the second sheet layer 112 is formed to have the same area as the first sheet layer 111 and the second sheet layer 112 The first internal electrode 111a and the second internal electrode 112a may be overlapped with each other and may have a smaller area than the first and second sheet layers 111 and 112 .

The second prism body may be disposed between the first prism of the first capacitor unit 120a and the second prism of the second capacitor unit 120b as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, The capacitor electrodes 121a, 122a, 123a, 124a, 125a, 126a, 127a and 128a of the capacitor units 120a and 120b and the internal electrodes 111a and 112a of the first and second main bodies 110 and 110, The external electrodes 131 and 132 may be electrically connected to each other. In addition, the external electrodes 131 and 132 are electrically connected to the human body-accessible conductor of the electronic device, respectively, so that the electric shock protection unit and the capacitor unit can be electrically connected in parallel.

Meanwhile, the electrodes included in the electric shock protection unit 110 and the capacitor units 120a and 120b may have different electrode pitches, electrode lengths, and / or electrode widths.

That is, the interval between the pair of internal electrodes 111a and 112a disposed opposite to each other may be the same as the interval between the capacitor electrodes 121a, 122a, 123a, 124a, 125a, 126a, 127a and 128a.

At this time, the interval between the electric shock protection unit 110 and the capacitor units 120a and 120b may be larger than the interval between the pair of internal electrodes 111a and 112a.

That is, it is preferable to ensure a sufficient distance from the internal electrodes 111a and 112a so that the static electricity or leakage current flowing along the pair of internal electrodes 111a and 112a does not leak to the adjacent capacitor electrodes. At this time, the distance between the capacitor units 120a and 120b and the electric shock protection unit 110 may be 15 to 100 mu m and preferably 2 times or more the interval between the pair of internal electrodes 111a and 112a Do. For example, when the gap between the pair of internal electrodes 111a and 112a is 10 占 퐉, the distance between the capacitor units 120a and 120b and the electric shock protection unit 110 may be 20 占 퐉 or more. Referring to FIG. 3, the distance between the capacitor unit and the electric shock protection unit is defined as a distance between the capacitor electrode 120a located closest to the electric shock protection unit 110 among the plurality of capacitor electrode units included in the capacitor unit 120a And the inner electrode 112a closest to the inner electrode provided in the electric shock protection unit 110.

Or the first and second main bodies each formed by sintering may be laminated in a desired arrangement to form an electric shock protection element. The method of forming the electric shock protection element is not particularly limited.

Such an electric shock protection element 100 may be disposed between the conductor 12 and the circuit portion 14, such as an external metal case, in the portable electronic device 10, as shown in FIG. 4A.

Here, the portable electronic device 10 may be in the form of a portable electronic device that is portable and portable. For example, the portable electronic device may be a portable terminal such as a smart phone, a cellular phone, and the like, and may be a smart watch, a digital camera, a DMB, an electronic book, a netbook, a tablet PC, Such electronic devices may comprise any suitable electronic components including antenna structures for communication with external devices. In addition, it may be a device using local area network communication such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Such a portable electronic device 10 may be made of conductive materials such as metal (aluminum, stainless steel, etc.) or carbon-fiber composite materials or other fiber-based composites, glass, ceramics, plastic, . ≪ / RTI >

At this time, the housing of the portable electronic device 10 may include a conductor 12 made of metal and exposed to the outside. Here, the conductor 12 may include at least one of an antenna for communication between the electronic device and an external device, a metal case, and conductive ornaments.

In particular, the metal case may be provided to partially surround or entirely surround the side of the housing of the portable electronic device 10. In addition, the metal case may be provided to surround the camera, which is exposed to the outside on the front surface or the rear surface of the housing of the electronic device.

As such, the electric shock protection element 100 may be disposed between the human contactable conductor 12 of the portable electronic device 10 and the circuit portion 14 to protect the internal circuit from leakage current and static electricity.

Such an anti-electrostatic device 100 may be suitably provided in accordance with the number of metal cases provided in the housing of the portable electronic device 10. [ However, when the metal case is provided in plurality, the metal cases 12a, 12b, 12c, and 12d may be embedded in the housing of the portable electronic device 10 so that the anti-shock devices 100 are individually connected. have.

That is, when the conductor 12 such as the metal case surrounding the side of the housing of the portable electronic device 10 is composed of three parts as shown in FIG. 4A, each of the conductors 12a, 12b, 12c, and 12d All of which are connected to the anti-shock device 100, thereby protecting the circuit inside the portable electronic device 10 from leakage current and static electricity.

When the plurality of metal cases 12a, 12b, 12c, and 12d are provided, the anti-shock device 100 may be provided in various ways according to the roles of the metal cases 12a, 12b, 12c, and 12d. have.

For example, when the camera of the portable electronic device 10 is exposed to the outside, when the anti-shock device 100 is applied to the conductor 12d surrounding the camera, the anti-shock device 100 May be provided in a form that blocks the leakage current and protects the internal circuit from static electricity.

In addition, when the metal case 12b serves as a ground, the anti-shock device 100 may be connected to the metal case 12b to shield the leakage current and protect the internal circuit from static electricity .

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 4B, the electric shock protection device 100 may be disposed between the metal case 12 'and the circuit board 14'. At this time, since the electric shock protection element 100 is for passing static electricity without damaging itself, the circuit board 14 'may have a separate protection element 16 for bypassing the static electricity to the ground. Here, the protection element 16 may be a suppressor or a varistor.

4C, the electric shock protection device 100 may be disposed through a matching circuit (e.g., R and L components) between the metal case 12 'and the FFM (front end module) 14a have. Here, the metal case 12 'may be an antenna. At this time, the electric shock protection element 100 is to pass the communication signal without attenuation, to pass the static electricity from the metal case 12 ', and to block the leakage current flowing from the ground through the matching circuit.

As shown in FIG. 4D, the electric shock protection device 100 may be disposed between the metal case 12 'having the antenna and the IC 14c implementing the communication function through the antenna. Here, the corresponding communication function may be NFC communication. At this time, since the electric shock protection element 100 is for passing the static electricity without damaging itself, it may be provided with a separate protection element 16 for bypassing the static electricity to the ground. Here, the protection element 16 may be a suppressor or a varistor.

4E, the electric shock protection element 100 may be disposed between the short pin 22 of the PIFA (Planar Inverted F Antenna) antenna 20 and the matching circuit. At this time, the electric shock protection element 100 is to pass the communication signal without attenuation, to pass the static electricity from the metal case 12 ', and to block the leakage current flowing from the ground through the matching circuit.

Such an electric shock protection device 100 may have different functions depending on the leakage current due to the external power source and the static electricity flowing from the conductor 12, as shown in Figs. 5A to 5C.

5A, when the leakage current of the external power source is introduced into the conductor 12 through the circuit board of the circuit unit 14, for example, the ground, the electric shock protection element 100 has its breakdown voltage (Vbr) is larger than the overvoltage due to the leakage current, it can be kept open. That is, since the breakdown voltage Vbr of the electric shock protection device 100 is larger than the rated voltage of the external power source of the portable electronic device, the electric shockproof protection device 100 maintains the open state without being electrically conducted, It is possible to prevent the leakage current from being transmitted.

At this time, the capacitor portions 120a and 120b provided in the electric shock protection device 100 can block the DC component included in the leakage current, and since the leakage current has a relatively lower frequency than the radio communication band, So that the leakage current can be cut off.

As a result, the electric shock protection device 100 can protect the user from electric shock by interrupting the leakage current to the external power source which flows from the ground of the circuit part 14. [

5B, when the static electricity flows from the outside through the conductor 12, the electric shock protection element 100 functions as an electrostatic protection element such as a suppressor. That is, since the operation voltage (discharge start voltage) of the suppressor for electrostatic discharge is smaller than the instantaneous voltage of the static electricity, the electric shock protection element 100 can pass the static electricity by the instantaneous discharge. As a result, the electric shock protection element 100 can lower the electrical resistance when the static electricity flows from the conductor 12, so that the static electricity can pass without being electrically broken.

At this time, since the dielectric breakdown voltage Vcp of the capacitor units 120a and 120b provided in the electric shock protection device 100 is larger than the breakdown voltage Vbr of the electric shock protection unit 110, the static electricity is generated by the capacitors 120a and 120b, 120b, and can only pass through the electric shock protection unit 110. [

Here, the circuit unit 14 may have a separate protection element for bypassing the static electricity to the ground. As a result, the electric shock protection element 100 can pass the static electricity without being broken by the static electricity flowing from the electric conductor 12, thereby protecting the inner circuit of the following stage.

Further, as shown in Fig. 5C, when a communication signal is input through the conductor 12, the electric shock protection element 100 functions as a capacitor. That is, in the electric shock protection device 100, the electric shock protection unit 110 is kept open to shut off the conductor 12 and the circuit unit 14, but the internal capacitor units 120a and 120b pass the communication signal . In this manner, the capacitor portions 120a and 120b of the electric shock protection device 100 can provide the inflow path of the communication signal.

Here, the capacitances of the capacitor units 120a and 120b are preferably set so as to pass the communication signal of the main wireless communication band without attenuation. As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, according to the result of simulating the pass frequency band according to the capacitance, the mobile radio communication frequency band (700 MHz) for a capacitance of 5 ㎊ or more including the first element body having a permittivity of 40 F / To 2.6 GHz), and exhibits an electrically short circuit phenomenon.

However, as shown in FIG. 6B, it can be seen that the capacitance of the capacitor portion is not influenced by the sensitivity of the mobile communication in the case of a capacitance of about 20 pF or more, preferably 30 pF or more. In the wireless communication frequency band, it is preferable to use a capacitor including a body having a dielectric constant of 20 F / m or more so that it is easier to realize a high capacitance of 20 F or more.

As a result, the electric shock protection device 100 can pass the communication signal flowing from the conductor 12 without a reduction by the high capacitance of the capacitor portions 120a and 120b.
