  • Publication number: 20230062109
    Abstract: A fixing structure of an electronic component includes a fixing member configured to fix an electronic component while pressing the electronic component against a wall surface of a housing in a pressing direction; and a fastened portion which is provided at a position away from the wall surface of the housing and to which the fixing member is fastened and fixed. The fixing member includes a fixing portion that is fastened and fixed to the fastened portion, a pressing portion that extends from the fixing portion toward the electronic component and is configured to press the electronic component against the wall surface in the pressing direction, and an engaging portion which is provided at the fixing portion. The fastened portion includes an engaged portion that is engaged with the engaging portion, and is configured to limit movement of the fixing portion in a direction opposite to the pressing direction.

  • Patent number: 11276522
    Abstract: A coil component and an insulating bobbin are provided with a first insulating bobbin having a first flange portion, a first rib, and a pair of locking claw portions and a second insulating bobbin having a second flange portion, a second rib, and a pair of locking opening portions. The pair of locking claw portions and the pair of locking opening portions are locked in a state where both end portions of a coil winding portion in a coil axis direction are covered with the first and second flange portions and and the first and second ribs and are respectively fitted into first and second slits and of the coil winding portion. As a result, adequate insulation performance can be ensured and workability can be improved when a coil insulating member is assembled to the coil winding portion.

  • Patent number: 6183278
    Abstract: A lever member 82, having an operating portion 83, is pivotally mounted on a lever support portion mounted on an upper casing. Retaining projections 84 are elastically-deformably formed respectively on those portions of opposite side surfaces of the operating portion which can be opposed to a pair of support side plates 22, respectively. The retaining projections 84 has elasticity, and therefore a force, required for bringing the retaining projections into and out of retaining engagement with retaining projections formed on the lever support portion, can be reduced, and besides the sense of a click can be obtained. Therefore, the efficiency of the operation, the operability and the reliability can be enhanced.
