Description

  The present invention relates to an electronic component that can be easily positioned and installed with respect to two different members such as a substrate and a case.

  Conventionally, in electronic components such as swing-type electronic components, this electronic component is fixed on the substrate, while an operation lever protruding from the upper surface of the electronic component is exposed from the opening of the case installed above the substrate, Further, an operation knob may be attached to the operation lever from the upper surface side of the case through the opening of the case.

  However, in the above conventional example, the position of the board and the case may be shifted due to an assembly error between the two. In that case, the operation knob cannot be installed at a position accurately positioned with respect to the case, which is the worst case. For example, when the operation knob is swung, there is a problem that the operation knob comes into contact with the inner periphery of the opening of the case and the operation knob cannot be swung.

  In order to solve this, as shown in FIG. 1 of Patent Document 1, an electronic component body (electronic component case) 40 and a terminal portion (external terminal portion) 60 may be connected by a flexible substrate 10. If comprised in this way, even if the position of the board | substrate which attaches the terminal part 60 and the case which attaches the electronic component main-body part 40 has shifted | deviated, for example, the deviation will absorb the bending of the flexible substrate 10, and the electronic component main-body part 40 will be absorbed. And both of the terminal portions 60 can be accurately attached to the case and the substrate, respectively.

  On the other hand, when it is desired to integrate the electronic component main body and the terminal portion from the viewpoint of ease of assembly to the board, case, etc., the electronic component main body portion and the terminal portion are overlapped with each other in a predetermined manner. What is necessary is just to engage integrally in the state which provided.

  However, in the case of an electronic component having a structure in which the electronic component main body portion 40 and the terminal portion 60 are engaged with each other in the vertical direction, there is a problem that the thickness cannot be reduced beyond the thickness obtained by adding the thicknesses of the two components. Arise.

On the other hand, when the connecting means for integrally connecting the electronic component main body 40 and the terminal portion 60 protrudes outward from the electronic component main body 40 or the terminal portion 60, downsizing of the external dimensions of the entire electronic component is hindered. The problem arises.

The case 550 has an opening 551 into which the operation unit 47 of the electronic component main body 20 is inserted, and a protruding engagement portion 553 (positioning portion) that is fitted into the openings of the positioning portions 41 and 43 of the electronic component main body 20. The engaging portion on the 43 side is not shown), and when the operation portion 47 is exposed to the opening portion 551, the engaging portions 553 are fitted into the openings of the positioning portions 41 and 43. At this time, the installation positions of the substrate 500 and the case 550 may be shifted due to an assembly error or the like. However, as described above, the electronic component main body 20 is in a plane direction (horizontal plane) with respect to the terminal portion 70 fixed to the substrate 500. Since the position of the electronic component main body 20 is displaced with respect to the terminal portion 70, each engaging portion 553 can be easily fitted into the opening of each positioning portion 41, 43. Can be combined. Therefore, the operation unit 47 can always be accurately positioned at a predetermined position (usually the center position) in the opening 551.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 5, when the knob 600 is attached to the operation portion 47 exposed in the opening portion 551 and pressed downward (in the direction of the arrow C), the central inversion plate 103 is inverted and the switch 101 is turned on.
