A mobile communication terminal having a main body and a folder pivotably connected to the main body, each having internal surfaces provided with a ground coated with conductive material; a hinge device including a conductive hinge housing received in the folder and connected to the grounds, a conductive coil spring received in the hinge housing and supported at one end of the hinge housing against an inner wall of one end of the hinge housing, and a conductive contact pin supported at one end against the other end of the coil spring and protruding through the other end of the hinge housing to be connected to the main body; and a conductive hinge dummy mounted within the main body and connected to the ground and the other end of the contact pin. Thus, operational characteristics of the terminal are improved and electromagnetic wave absorptance is reduced.
