Abstract
In the electronic device of the present invention, leg portions of a frame are projected downward from the underside of a printed circuit board, so the positioning of the electronic device can be done by inserting the leg portions into holes formed in a mother printed circuit board. Thus, when the electronic device is surface-mounted to the mother board, there is no fear of its dislocation even under vibration or shock. Accordingly, the electronic device is not deteriorated at all in its quality.
