Abstract
The invention comprises a case having an opening, electronic parts and a wiring board installed in the case, a connector plug body fixed to the case, and a lid disposed in the opening of the case. The connector plug body has terminals and base. The terminals have an upper terminal projecting in upper direction from the base, and a lower terminal projecting from lower direction of the base. The lower terminal is electrically connected to the wiring board. The lid has a connector housing. The upper terminal projects into the connector housing. The base is fixed in the case, and hence the connector plug body is fixed to the case. The case has a connector fixing part projecting from the inner bottom of the case. The connector fixing part is positioned in lower direction of the connector housing, and the base is fixed in the connector fixing part. The connector housing is integrally formed with the lid. In this configuration, the connector area is reduced. The entire electronic device with connector is reduced in size. When manipulating the electronic device with connector, the stress applied to the wiring board is prevented. Deterioration of performance during manipulation is prevented, and an electronic device with connector having an excellent reliability is obtained.
