Electronic device and noise current measuring method
A noise current passing through a substrate on which an electronic component is mounted is suppressed in a housing, to provide a malfunction of an electronic device. A substrate ( 103 ) on which an electronic component is mounted is secured to a housing ( 102 ) by a metal spacer ( 108 ) and a screw ( 104 ). A noise control member ( 100 ) mainly composed of an insulation substance is disposed between the metal spacer ( 108 ) and the substrate ( 103 ). A first conductive film is formed on the metal spacer-side of the noise control member ( 100 ), and a second conductive film is formed on the substrate-side of the noise control member ( 100 ). A resistance member ( 101 ) is disposed between the first conductive film and the second conductive film. A noise current introduced from the housing to the substrate can be suppressed by the resistance member.
