  • Patent number: 9220175
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing, a circuit board contained in the hosing, a pin, and a fitting member. The pin is inserted, from outside, in a through-hole formed in a wall of the housing, and has a head which is exposed to the outside and a shaft portion which projects into an inside space of the housing. The fitting member has a linear shape, and is formed with a nip spring portion and a circuit board contact portion. The nip spring portion nips the shaft portion elastically in its radial direction in the inside space of the housing to contact with the pin projected as a contact. The circuit board contact portion is in contact with a contact of the circuit board.
