  • Patent number: 8462515
    Abstract: An exemplary electronic includes a casing and a circuit board. The casing includes a bottom plate and two side plates extending upward from two opposite sides of the bottom plate, respectively. Hooks are formed on the bottom plate. Two guiding members are located at the side plates, respectively. The circuit board defines engaging slots corresponding to the hooks of the bottom plate, respectively. During assembly of the circuit board to the casing, the circuit board is inserted into the casing and slides between the side plates with two opposite lateral sides thereof sliding along the guiding members, until the hooks of the bottom plate are received in the engaging slots of the circuit board and the circuit board is thereby secured in the casing.

  • Patent number: 8446740
    Abstract: Even in a location where, for example, a notch section is formed, sufficient rigidity is secured. For this purpose, in reinforcing structure of a front case, a horizontal hemming-bent section 18 formed by folding work is disposed not only in a notch section 9, but also in regions near neighborhood regions 15 and 16. As a result, in the neighborhood regions 15 and 16 of the notch section 9, there is formed a location in which the horizontal hemming-bent section 18 overlaps with a sidewall section 7 along a side end edge to thereby provide reinforcement. Hence, also in the notch section 9, sufficient rigidity is secured.

    Abstract: A surface mount electronic component that includes a resin case, metal terminals, and a sealing metal plate that are molded integrally by insert molding. A hollow casing part and a through hole are formed in the case. The through hole leads from the hollow casing part to a surface of the case. The metal plate seals the through hole. The metal plate has a coefficient of linear expansion that is different from a coefficient of linear expansion of the case so that deformation to unseal the through hole occurs when heated.
