In this embodiment, the engaging portion 13 is the part of the mounting plate 10 that protrudes most in the +y direction, and movement of the engaging portion 13 in the +y direction is restricted by the regulating surface 43a. Furthermore, as described above, the peripheral wall 42 has an opening that can accommodate the mounting plate main body 11 when viewed from the front when the mounting plate 10 is viewed from the magnet 20 side (+y direction side). Therefore, the entire mounting plate 10 is housed inside the fixing part 40.

In the holder 1 according to this embodiment, the engaging portions 13a and 13c and the engaged portion 43 constitute an engaging means that defines the deformation reference positions 11a and 11b. When the engaging portion 13 of the mounting plate 10 and the engaged portion 43 of the fixed portion 40 engage with each other, the relative relationship between the mounting plate 10 and the fixed portion 40 in the thickness direction (second direction y) of the mounting plate 10 is reduced.
