Abstract
A shielding case eliminates the problem in that the fixing portion of a feed-through capacitor juts out of the cabinet thereof; it does not affect the mounting conditions or the like of internal electronic components even if a part of the cabinet is bent inward to provide a portion on which the feed-through capacitor is mounted; and it enables automated assembly. The shielding case provides all the aforesaid advantages without sacrificing the shielding effect thereof. The shielding case is provided with: a printed circuit board (PCB) (31) which is housed and installed in a cabinet (28) constituted by a frame (23), a top cover (26), and a bottom cover (27); and a feed-through capacitor (29) which has one end thereof soldered to the PCB (31) and the other end thereof led out of the cabinet (28) and which has a fixing portion (36); wherein the top portion of one side surface of the frame (23) is bent inward to provide the side surface of the frame (23) with a horizontal plate portion (32), a mounting hole (33), through which the feed-through capacitor (29) is inserted and secured, is formed in the horizontal plate portion (32), and the edge portion of the PCB (31) is positioned under and opposed to the mounting hole (33) to expose an inserting hole (30) through the mounting hole (33) so as to insert the feed-through capacitor (29) in the mounting hole (33) to secure it.
