Abstract
An electronic apparatus for a vehicle, which includes a partition wall that partitions between an engine room and a passenger compartment of the vehicle, includes an electronic device, a housing, and an annular rubber member. The electronic device is received in the housing. The housing is placed in the engine room and is fixed to the partition wall by a fixing member. The partition wall has a through-hole to oppose the housing, and the housing has an opening that communicates between an internal space of the housing and the passenger compartment. An annular rubber member is arranged to surround the through-hole of the partition wall and the opening of the housing, and the rubber member is clamped between the housing and the partition wall when the housing is fixed to the partition wall by the fixing member.

An electronic apparatus for a vehicle which includes a partition wall that partitions between an engine room and a passenger compartment of the vehicle, the electronic apparatus comprising:
- at least one electronic device;
- a housing that receives the at least one electronic device in an interior of the housing, wherein:
- the housing is adapted to be placed in the engine room of the vehicle and is adapted to be fixed to a mount area of the partition wall of the vehicle, which has a through-hole, with at least one fixing member;
- the through-hole extends through the partition wall at the mount area to oppose the housing upon fixation of the housing to the mount area of the partition wall with the at least one fixing member;
- and
- the housing includes an opening, which communicates between the interior of the housing and the passenger compartment through the through-hole of the partition wall;
- and
- an annular rubber member that surrounds the opening of the housing and is adapted to be placed in an imaginary plane that is generally perpendicular to a penetrating direction of the through-hole of the partition wall to surround the through-hole of the partition wall and the opening of the housing, wherein the rubber member is adapted to be clamped between the housing and the partition wall upon the fixation of the housing to the partition wall with the at least one fixing member.
