A magnetic part including: a coil that generates a magnetic flux when a current flows through the coil; a core that is formed of a magnetic substance that forms a magnetic path of the magnetic flux; a support member that supports the core; and a fixing member that fixes the core to the support member. The core includes a column portion that is vertically provided with respect to a surface where the core is in contact with the support member. The fixing member presses the column portion of the core against the support member. The support member has a recess in a portion of a facing surface that faces the core, where the portion of a facing surface does not face the column portion.

Magnetic part and electronic apparatus

An electronic device includes: an electronic component; and a mounting member on which the electronic component is mounted. A center of gravity of the electronic component is at a position separated from the mounting member. The electronic device further includes: a rigid member having a frame shape, which is fixed to the mounting member and surrounds the electronic component in a direction perpendicular to a direction from the center of gravity of the electronic component to the mounting member; and a connecting member which connects the electronic component to the rigid member on a side opposite to the mounting member with respect to the electronic component.

Electronic device

A circuit board includes a first insulating layer having an upper surface on which mounting regions of electronic components and wiring patterns are provided, a metal core provided on the lower surface of the first insulating layer, in such a way as to vertically overlap with the mounting regions, and a second insulating layer provided on the lower surface of the first insulating layer, around the metal core. The lower surface of the metal core is exposed from the second insulating layer, the thermal conductivities of the first insulating layer and the metal core are higher than the thermal conductivity of the second insulating layer, and the hardness of the first insulating layer is higher than the hardness of the second insulating layer. Through holes that penetrate the insulating layers and that connect wiring patterns of the insulating layers are provided.

Circuit board

A photo detection device, which is disposed in a vehicle, includes a first photo detection element that detects light and a first signal processing unit that performs a predetermined process based on a detection result of the first photo detection element. The photo detection device also includes a first board on which the first photo detection element is mounted and a second board on which the first signal processing unit is mounted. Additionally, the photo detection device includes a holding member that holds the first board and the second board and a housing that accommodates the holding member. The holding member holds the first board and the second board such that the second board is arranged in a second plane different from a first plane in which the first board is arranged.

Photo detection device

A structure of housing is to be arranged in such a way as not to involve a complication of a manufacturing process or damage to a sealing rubber, and moreover, not to involve a decrease in a mounting area of an electronic substrate, either. A transmitter includes: a casing; a sealing rubber which covers an inner surface of the casing; an electronic substrate fitted inside the sealing rubber; and an inner plate for preventing the electronic substrate from dropping off and housing a battery, wherein the inner plate, as well as having a structure which can take an aspect of a bent condition, in which it is bent with a thin-walled parting line portion as a border, or a straightened condition, in which it is in an approximately flush aspect, has one or more long holes, and has provided on one longitudinal edge of the long holes, arms of which proximal portions are swingably attached thereto, and furthermore, on the other longitudinal edge of the long holes, engagement portions which can be engaged with leading ends of the arms.

Structure of housing battery etc.

A transmitter having a structure causing no complicated manufacturing process and no damage of a sealing rubber and capable of certainly preventing an electronic substrate from coming off in exchanging a battery is provided. An inner plate is a component, which has a bending type of unseparated segmentation structure and which is molded into one body, and the inner plate is molded with protruded portions engaging with grooves formed in an inner surface of an upper case and elastic pieces engaging with a periphery of the electronic substrate. The bent inner plate is placed on the electronic substrate and a force for canceling the bending state is added so that the protruded portions would engage with the grooves of the upper case and the elastic pieces would engage with the periphery of the electronic substrate.
