Abstract
An electronic component assembly including a connector hole built as part of an enclosure serving as a cabinet of electronic device, where the connector hole is used for passing through an electric connector connecting a component inside the cabinet to an external device installed outside the cabinet, has a knurled portion with a plurality of dents provided around the inside of the hole for preventing the connector from rotating by engaging the corners of the flange in the connector with any of the dents. As a result, other parts, including a rear terminal assembly for preventing the connector from rotating, and the number of the assembly operations can be eliminated. The cost and processes of molding other parts can also be eliminated.
