Abstract
A component holding device includes: a fixing member that has a first inner wall surface that forms a first hole into which gas can be entered and a component can be inserted; a component holding section that is fit to the first hole of the fixing member and that holds the component; a sealing section that is provided in the first hole and that seals the component holding section to prevent water from entering into the first hole of the fixing member; and a vent path that is provided in at least one of the fixing member and the component holding section so as to communicate with a gas residual section in the component insertion hole and that discharges leaked gas in the gas residual section to outside air.
