Abstract
An LED mounting holder for mounting one or more LEDs on a printed circuit board and for having the printed circuit board on a front panel of an electronic apparatus with the LEDs mounted on the printed circuit board. The LED mounting holder has a plurality of holding sections each formed by a plate of an electrically conductive material, a plurality of height position setting sections, a contacting section of an electrically conductive material for being contacted with the main body of the electronic apparatus, and a holder support for supporting the LED mounting holder by the printed circuit board. The holding sections are provided at the positions on the holder in register with the mounting positions of the LEDs on the printed circuit board for holding the LEDs and are protruded towards the distal ends of the LEDs for facing away from the printed circuit board. The height setting sections are provided at the positions on the holder in register with the mounting positions of the LEDs on the printed circuit board for setting the height positions of the distal ends of the LEDs held by the holding sections. When mounted in the electronic apparatus, the holder assures accurate setting of the mounting height positions and the mounting positions in the array of the LEDs, while preventing static charges from being introduced into the main body of the electronic apparatus via the holding sections and contact sections.
