  Secondly, the present invention has all the first electrical connection components 14 installed on the top surface of the housing 12 and all the second electrical connection components 24 installed on the bottom surface of the signal connection portion 23. The procedure of “coupling between the component 10 and the antenna component 20” is further simplified. To be more precise, since the electrical connection components 14 and 24 correspond to each other up and down, the user can connect the antenna component 20. The antenna component 20 can be mounted on the substrate component 10 effectively (so as to be electrically connected) quickly and accurately by simply placing the antenna component vertically downward from above the substrate component 10.

  Third, the Pokayoke devices 15 and 26 can ensure that the user or machine sets the antenna component 20 accurately and aligns it when it is set above the board component 10. When the antenna component 20 is set on the board component 10 in the reverse direction, it can no longer be connected to each other by the Pokayoke devices 15 and 26, so that a mistake in the mounting direction can be easily identified.

  Summarizing the above, the present invention is designed so that the connecting structure of the electrical connection parts 14 and 24 can be installed on the board component 10 by attaching the antenna component 20 from the top to the bottom. Since the entire process is very simple and is advantageous from the viewpoint of automation of the assembly process, the efficiency of the entire assembly can be improved.
