Abstract
A unit part mounting structure in which mounting legs are soldered onto soldering lands at a side of the printed board to which the unit part is mounted, so that mounting of the unit part to the printed board is made easier, and repairing and replacement of the unit part can be performed without removing the printed board, thereby making it easier to perform the repairing and replacement. In conventional unit part mounting structures, the unit part is mounted to a side of the printed board not having a conductive pattern, connecting portions of a housing are inserted into holes in the printed board, and the printed board is turned upside down to solder the connecting portions. Thus, it takes time and effort to insert and solder the unit part P. The unit part mounting structure of the invention overcomes such a problem.
