An attachment apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a hand portion and a control unit. The hand portion includes a restriction portion that restricts a movement of a flat cable in a width direction and a holding portion that holds at least one of both surfaces of the flat cable. The control unit causes the flat cable to be held by a first holding force while restricting the movement in the width direction at a first position on the flat cable, causes the hand portion to move to a second position on the flat cable while maintaining the first holding force, and causes the flat cable to be held at the second position by a second holding force to attach the flat cable.

Attachment apparatus, attachment method, and hand mechanism

An electronic apparatusincludes a holderarranged along the rear surface of a main boardand the front surface of a sub-board. The holderincludes a connector holder portionthat holds a connectorin a position offset in the thickness direction of the main boardand the sub-boardfrom a position on the rear surface of the main boardand a position on the front surface of the sub-board. The holderincludes a cable holder portionthat holds a cable. Consequently, it is possible to optimize the position of an electronic component such as a connector and prevent interference between a cable connected to the electronic component and other electronic components on a circuit board.

Electronic apparatus

An electronic apparatusincludes a flat cable, an endof which is bonded to the front surface of a sub-boardthrough an anisotropic conductive film, engaged portionsA andB formed in the flat cable, and an intermediate framethat engages with the engaged portionsA andB to restrain the movement of the engaged portionsA andB in a direction away from the electrode on the sub-board. Consequently, it is possible to realize a reduction in costs while maintaining connection stability between a flat cable and a circuit board.

In order to provide an electronic apparatus capable of smooth operation of a press button, an electronic apparatus includes: an outer panel having a hole in which a press button is fitted and a circuit board placed on a back side of the outer panel; a stopper restricted from moving in the thickness direction of the outer panel is formed between the press button and the circuit board; the stopper is brought into contact with the flange portion formed on an edge of the press button when the press button has moved in the thickness direction of the outer panel.
