Abstract

An electronic apparatus includes a housing, a printed substrate and a holder. The housing includes a front surface, a back surface, and a side surface which connects between the front surface and the back surface. The side surface includes an opening. The printed substrate includes a first surface on which a switch is mounted and a second surface which is on the reverse side of the first surface. The holder includes a holding portion and an operating portion, the holding portion is configured to hold the printed substrate under the first surface of the printed substrate facing the side surface of the housing, the operating portion is integrally formed in the holder and is exposed from the opening.

Claims (11)

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a housing including a front surface, a back surface, and a side surface which connects between the front surface and the back surface, the side surface including an opening;

a first printed substrate which includes a first surface on which a switch is mounted and a second surface which is on the reverse side of the first surface;
