Abstract

According to the present invention, there is provided a holder having a pressure flange not to be easily disengaged from a small-sized electronic part in pressing and accommodating the holder having the small-sized electronic part in a mounting recess. A holder includes a projecting portion protruding from a pressing flange toward a cylinder axis of a holding portion, formed in a portion having a predetermined length of an inner edge of the pressing flange. With this construction, when the holder accommodating a small-sized electronic part is mounted to a casing of an apparatus, even if the pressing flange is rolled up and about to be disengaged from the small-sized electronic part, the projecting portion engages with the small-sized electronic part, thereby preventing the pressing flange from being rolled up.

Claims (29)

1. A holder for a small-sized electronic part, comprising:

a cylindrical holding portion having a cylinder axis and an inner peripheral surface for accommodating the small-sized electronic part;

an elastic connector portion provided on one end side of the holding portion and having a conduction path for bringing electrodes of the small-sized electronic part accommodated in the holding portion and circuit electrodes of a board into conduction;

a pressing flange provided on another end side of the holding portion and protruding inwardly toward the cylinder axis from the inner peripheral surface of the holding portion and forming an insertion hole for the small-sized electronic part; and

a projecting portion protruding further inwardly from the pressing flange toward the cylinder axis of the holding portion.

2. A holder for the small-sized electronic part according to claim 1 , wherein the projecting portion is thin on at least an inner edge side of the projecting portion.

3. A holder for the small-sized electronic part according to claim 1 , wherein the projecting portion is round cornered at an insertion side end portion to which the small-sized electronic part is inserted.

4. A holder for the small-sized electronic part according to claim 1 , wherein the projecting portion is provided on the another end side of the holding portion in a position which is other than a position opposed to the conduction path on the one end side of the holding portion.

5. A holder for the small-sized electronic part according to claim 1 , wherein the projecting portion is provided on the another end side of the holding portion in a position opposed to the conduction path on the one end side of the holding portion.

6. A holder according to claim 1 , wherein the projecting portion is thinner than the pressing flange.

7. A holder according to claim 1 , wherein the projecting portion includes a step oriented away from the one end side of the holding portion.

8. A holder according to claim 1 , wherein the insertion hole has a triangular shape with round corners.

9. A holder according to claim 1 , wherein the insertion hole has a regular polygonal shape.

10. A holder for the small-sized electronic part according to claim 1 , wherein an outer peripheral surface of the holding portion is provided with a press-contact protrusion for preventing detachment of the holder by contacting to a mounting recess of a mounting object apparatus.

11. A holder for the small-sized electronic part according to claim 10 , wherein the press-contact protrusion is inclined in an extraction direction of the holder with respect to the mounting recess.

12. A holder for a small-sized electronic part, comprising:

a cylindrical holding portion having a cylinder axis and an inner peripheral surface for accommodating the small-sized electronic part;

an elastic connector portion provided on one end side of the holding portion and having a conduction path for bringing electrodes of the small-sized electronic part accommodated in the holding portion and circuit electrodes of a board into conduction; and

a projecting portion, located on another end side of the holding portion, having an inner lateral surface, and protruding inwardly such that a distance between the inner lateral surface and the cylinder axis varies circumferentially.

13. A holder for the small-sized electronic part according to claim 12 , wherein the projecting portion is thin on at least an inner edge side of the projecting portion.

14. A holder for the small-sized electronic part according to claim 12 , wherein the projecting portion is round cornered at an insertion side end portion to which the small-sized electronic part is inserted.

15. A holder for the small-sized electronic part according to claim 12 , wherein the projecting portion is provided on the another end side of the holding portion in a position which is other than a position opposed to the conduction path on the one end side of the holding portion.

16. A holder for the smell-sized electronic part according to claim 12 , wherein the projecting portion is provided on the another end side of the holding portion in a position opposed to the conduction path on the one end side of the holding portion.

17. A holder according to claim 12 , wherein the insertion hole has a triangular shape with round corners.

18. A holder according to claim 12 , wherein the insertion hole has a regular polygonal shape.

19. A holder for the small-sized electronic part according to claim 12 , wherein an outer peripheral surface of the holding portion is provided with a press-contact protrusion for preventing detachment of the holder by contacting to a mounting recess of a mounting object apparatus.

20. A holder for the small-sized electronic part according to claim 19 , wherein the press-contact protrusion is inclined in an extraction direction of the holder with respect to the mounting recess.

21. A holder for the small-sized electronic part according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the projecting portion tapers inwardly.

22. A holder for the small-sized electronic part according to claim 12 , wherein a thickness of the projecting portion tapers inwardly.
