An electronic apparatus () includes a cooling fan () configured to generate an airflow that cools a part mounted on a circuit board (), a flow passage wall () defining a flow passage of the airflow fed from the cooling fan (), and a dust collecting chamber Ds configured to capture dust in the airflow and store the captured dust, the dust collecting chamber Ds being provided to the flow passage wall (). According to this, the amount of the dust fed to air supply targets such as a heat sink and a power supply unit together with air can be reduced.

Electronic apparatus

Foreign matter is prevented from entering the inside of an electronic apparatus. An electronic apparatus () includes plural exhaust holes (E, E) formed in an armor member (), an air flow path (S) formed inside the armor member () and connected to the plural exhaust holes (E, E), a power source circuit () disposed in the air flow path (S), and a foreign matter preventing member () located between the power source circuit () and the plural exhaust holes (E, E). The foreign matter preventing member () is formed with plural openings (Es). Each of the openings (Es) is smaller in size than each of the exhaust holes (E, E).
