1. An actuator module of a wireless communication terminal, comprising:
at least one actuator having a positioning portion formed on an outer surface thereof;
an upper base configured to receive the actuator on a lower surface thereof;
a lower base assembled to the upper base to define an inner space of a predetermined volume therebetween; and
a connecting member having a cutting section, a body fixed to an upper surface of the lower base, one end of the body being exposed from a lower surface of the lower base, and the other end thereof being electrically connected with the actuator when coupling the upper and lower bases;
wherein the connecting member is a conductive plate;
wherein the lower base comprises a plurality of assembly protrusions formed on the upper surface thereof, and inserted to a plurality of fixing holes formed on the connecting member; and
wherein, after being inserted to the fixing holes of the connecting member, the assembly protrusions are melted therein by heat, and fused to the connecting member.
