Electronic apparatus and unit
An electronic apparatus includes a housing having a hole, an electronic component disposed adjacent to the hole, and a support fitting that supports the electronic component. The support member has a partition that supports the electronic component and defines a space around the hole in cooperation with an inner wall of the housing.
1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a housing having a hole used to secure a locking device;
a board disposed in a primary space within the housing;
a connector mounted to the board and disposed adjacent to the hole; and
a support member that supports the connector,
wherein
the support member has both a partition supporting portion that supports the connector and a partition that defines a secondary space around the hole in cooperation with an inner wall of the housing,
the partition being configured to substantially inhibit dust from entering the primary space of the housing via the hole and the secondary space,
wherein the support member inhibits movement in a first direction parallel to a wall of the housing including the hole and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and parallel to a second wall of the housing.
2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the connector is a connector for transferring signals to and from an external party.
3. The electronic apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the connector is a USB-compliant connector.
4. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the housing is a box-shaped housing having the hole at a position adjacent to a corner of a side surface of the housing, and the support member defines two surfaces of the space around the hole.
5. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the housing includes:
a bottom cover having the hole, and
a top cover that houses the board, the connector and the support member in cooperation with the bottom cover.
6. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the hole is a through-hole open to connect the outside of the housing in a state in which the locking device is detached from the hole with the second space defined by the inner wall of the housing and the partition and the outside of the housing in a state in which the locking device is detached from the hole.
7. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the partition includes a first portion that is substantially orthogonal to a second portion and the first portion and second portion define two walls of the secondary space.
8. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the connector is configured to receive a data transfer cable.
9. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
at least one electronic component mounted on the board, wherein
the connector is configured to couple the at least one electronic component to at least one of an external device and a network.
