Abstract

An electronic device includes: a board having a first connector; a housing in which the board is disposed and which has a work opening for allowing external work for the board; and a cable which has an end reaching the board by passing through a path within the housing and has a second connector to be mated with the first connector and disposed at the end. The electronic device further includes a cable holding section provided at an inner wall of the housing and having a slit whose width is smaller than a size of the second connector. The cable holding section holds the cable so that a part of the cable reaches the work opening.

Claims

1. An electronic device comprising:

a board having a first connector;

a housing in which the board is disposed and which has a work opening for allowing external work for the board;

a cable which has an end reaching the board by passing through a path within the housing and has a second connector to be mated with the first connector and disposed at the end; and

a cable holding section provided at an inner wall of the housing and having a slit whose width is smaller than a size of the second connector, the cable holding section holding the cable so that a part of the cable reaches the work opening.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the first connector is disposed on a surface of the board, which surface facing the work opening.
