Abstract
A structure for supporting a printed wiring board housed in a housing of an electronic device. The supporting structure includes a first projection formed on the housing and projecting toward the printed wiring board. The electronic device includes a conductor plate, which is grounded and accommodated in the housing. A second projection is formed on the conductor plate and projects toward the printed wiring board. The printed wiring board includes a substrate and a ground layer, which is arranged on the substrate. The first projection of the housing and the second projection of the conductor plate hold and support the printed wiring board in between and thereby electrically connect the ground layer to the conductor plate.
