Device and switch device
A device includes a housing, a circuit board disposed inside the housing, and an elastic seat covering one surface on one side of the circuit board, wherein the housing includes a wall having one opening provided on the one side and another opening provided on another side which is other than the one side, the wall extending between the one opening and the another in a direction intersecting in a direction in which the one surface of the circuit board extends, wherein the elastic seat has a flange, and wherein the flange contacts the wall so as to deflect against the wall.
1. A device comprising:
a housing;
a circuit board disposed inside the housing; and
an elastic seat covering one surface of the circuit board, the one surface being located on a first side of the device,
wherein the housing includes
a wall having a first opening provided on the first side and a second opening provided on a second side of the device which is other than the first side, the wall extending between the first opening and the another in a direction intersecting in a direction in which the one surface of the circuit board extends,
wherein the elastic seat has a flange and a first drain,
wherein the flange contacts the wall so as to deflect against the wall, and
wherein the first drain is adjacent to the flange, the first drain being formed to penetrate from the first side to the second side, the first drain being formed by notching a part of the flange.
2. The device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the wall has a pressing portion, the pressing portion including a slope portion provided so that the slope portion on the second side is farther than the slope portion on the first side relative to the elastic seat, the pressing portion contacting the flange.
3. The device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the elastic seat has a skirt portion, the skirt portion extending from a base portion of the flange portion toward the second side.
4. The device according to claim 3 ,
wherein the skirt portion is, formed like a peripheral wall surrounding the circuit board.
5. The device according, to claim 1 , the device further comprising:
a lower cover that blocks the second opening, the lower cover including a second drain, the second drain being formed to penetrate from the first side to the second side, the lower cover being formed to notch a part of the lower cover corresponding to the first drain.
6. The device according to claim 5 ,
wherein the lower cover including a rib, the rib protruding, into the first side in a dam-like shape, the rib contacting the circuit board on the second side, the rib being provided to be in a shape of, surrounding a wiring pattern formed on the second side.
7. The device according to claim 6 ,
wherein the circuit board does not have neither the wiring pattern nor a through hole in an area outside a region surrounded by a contact surface of the circuit board on the second side.
8. A switch device for operating a power seat of a vehicle, the switch device comprising:
a housing;
a circuit board disposed inside the housing; and
an elastic seat covering one surface of the circuit board, the one surface being located on a first side of the device,
wherein the housing includes
a wall having a first opening provided on the first side and a second opening provided on a second side of the device which is other than the first side, and the wall extending between the first opening and the another in a direction intersecting in a direction in which the one surface of the circuit board extends,
wherein the elastic seat has a flange and a first drain,
wherein the flange contacts the wall so as to deflect against the wall, and
wherein the first drain is adjacent to the flange, the first drain being formed to penetrate from the first side to the second side, the first drain, being formed by notching a part of the flange.
