Abstract

A mounting component includes a fixed frame to be fixed to a board and a sliding frame. The fixed frame includes first and second fixed side plates having through holes formed in positions corresponding to engaging holes of an electronic component, and first and second fixed arms connecting the first and second fixed side plates. The sliding frame includes first and second sliding side plates including engaging pins to be inserted via the through holes into the engaging holes of the electronic component, first and second sliding arms extending from the front and back ends of the first sliding side plate, and third and fourth sliding arms extending from the front and back ends of the second sliding side plate. The first, second, third, and fourth sliding arms are configured to slide the first and second sliding plates away from the first and second fixed side plates.

Claims (37)

1. A mounting component for mounting an electronic component on a board, the mounting component comprising:

a fixed frame to be fixed to the board, the fixed frame including

first and second fixed side plates having through holes formed in positions corresponding to engaging holes formed in side surfaces of the electronic component, and

first and second fixed arms configured to connect front ends and back ends of the first and second fixed side plates; and

a sliding frame, the sliding frame including

first and second sliding side plates disposed at outer sides of the corresponding first and second fixed side plates and including engaging pins that are to be inserted into the engaging holes of the electronic component via the through holes of the first and second fixed side plates,

first and second sliding arms that extend from front and back ends of the first sliding side plate toward the second sliding side plate, and

third and fourth sliding arms that extend from front and back ends of the second sliding side plate toward the first sliding side plate;

wherein the first, second, third, and fourth sliding arms are configured to slide the first and second sliding plates away from the first and second fixed side plates.

2. The mounting component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first and second fixed side plates are configured to contact the side surfaces of the electronic component to fix a position in a width direction of the electronic component.

3. The mounting component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first and second fixed side plates and the first and second fixed arms are configured to form an opening where the electronic component is to be placed.

4. The mounting component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the first sliding arm and the third sliding arm partly overlap each other and first and third tabs are formed at ends of the first sliding arm and the third sliding arm;

the second sliding arm and the fourth sliding arm partly overlap each other and second and fourth tabs are formed at ends of the second sliding arm and the fourth sliding arm; and

the first and third tabs are configured to be moved toward each other and the second and fourth tabs are configured to be moved toward each other to slide the first and second sliding plates away from the first and second fixed side plates.

5. The mounting component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fixed frame further includes stoppers configured to prevent the first and second sliding side plates from being slid away from the first and second fixed side plates more than a predetermined distance.

6. The mounting component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the electronic component has a substantially-rectangular plate-like shape in plan view.

7. An electronic apparatus, comprising:

a board; and

a mounting component configured to mount an electronic component on the board,

wherein the mounting component includes

a fixed frame to be fixed to the board, the fixed frame including

first and second fixed side plates having through holes formed in positions corresponding to engaging holes formed in side surfaces of the electronic component, and

first and second fixed arms configured to connect front ends and back ends of the first and second fixed side plates; and

a sliding frame, the sliding frame including

first and second sliding side plates disposed at outer sides of the corresponding first and second fixed side plates and including engaging pins that are to be inserted into the engaging holes of the electronic component via the through holes of the first and second fixed side plates,

first and second sliding arms that extend from front and back ends of the first sliding side plate toward the second sliding side plate, and

third and fourth sliding arms that extend from front and back ends of the second sliding side plate toward the first sliding side plate;

wherein the first, second, third, and fourth sliding arms are configured to slide the first and second sliding plates away from the first and second fixed side plates.

8. The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the first and second fixed side plates are configured to contact the side surfaces of the electronic component to fix a position in a width direction of the electronic component.

9. The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the first and second fixed side plates and the first and second fixed arms are configured to form an opening where the electronic component is to be placed.

10. The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 7 , wherein

the first sliding arm and the third sliding arm partly overlap each other and first and third tabs are formed at ends of the first sliding arm and the third sliding arm;

the second sliding arm and the fourth sliding arm partly overlap each other and second and fourth tabs are formed at ends of the second sliding arm and the fourth sliding arm; and

the first and third tabs are configured to be moved toward each other and the second and fourth tabs are configured to be moved toward each other to slide the first and second sliding plates away from the first and second fixed side plates.

11. The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the fixed frame further includes stoppers configured to prevent the first and second sliding side plates from being slid away from the first and second fixed side plates more than a predetermined distance.

12. The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the electronic component has a substantially-rectangular plate-like shape in plan view.
