Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electronic device includes: a casing; and an electronic circuit board housed within the casing. The electronic device further includes a protector which is provided on a surface of the electronic circuit board that faces the casing. The height of the protector is larger than the height of an electronic component mounted on the surface of the electronic circuit board that faces the casing. In a state that the electronic circuit board is housed within the casing, the protector abuts on a surface of the casing that faces the electronic circuit board.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An electronic device comprising: a casing; and an electronic circuit board housed within the casing, the electronic device further comprising a protector which is provided on a surface of the electronic circuit board that faces the casing, wherein a height of the protector is larger than a height of an electronic component mounted on the surface of the electronic circuit board that faces the casing wherein the protector does not extend over the electronic component so that the electronic component is uncovered, and, in a state that the electronic circuit board is housed within the casing, the protector abuts on a surface of the casing that faces the electronic circuit board, wherein the electronic circuit board is housed within the casing by being inserted into the casing in one direction from an opening of the casing, and the protector is formed into a rod shape extending in a direction that the electronic circuit board is inserted, wherein the protector includes a restricting section configured to engage with a restricted section formed on the surface of the casing that faces the electronic circuit board. 2. The electronic device according to claim 1 wherein the protector is connected to a face plate configured to hold the electronic circuit board and close the opening of the casing, and a length of the protector is longer than a distance between the face plate and the electronic component mounted in a position furthest from the face plate. 3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the protector includes a restricting section configured to attract, by a magnetic force, a restricted section formed on the surface of the casing that faces the electronic circuit board.
