BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to an electric shock protection device, and more particularly, to an electric shock protection device that protects a user from a leakage current by a power source and has improved electric characteristics against static electricity.
Recently, the adoption of a metal 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 converts it to a low DC power source suitable for a portable electronic device through a transformer. 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, such as an external case of a portable electronic device. As a result, it can give a user an unpleasant feeling of crushing, and in a severe case, There is a fear of wearing.
Accordingly, a portable electronic device such as a cellular phone employing a metal case is required to protect the user from leakage current.
In addition, in order to achieve a stable function for interrupting the leakage current or for passing the static electricity because the static electricity generates a momentarily high voltage and the leakage current is harmful to the human body, the electric resistance against the leakage current or the static electricity The development of the
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an electric shock protection device capable of protecting an internal circuit and / or a user from a leakage current caused by static electricity or an external power source, have.
