Abstract
A main body chassis 101 in which a navigation side connector 109 is positioned and fixed, and a display part chassis 203 in which an LCD side connector 205 is positioned and fixed are positioned by abutting a pair of positioning bosses 116 of each of positioning parts 115a and 115b against both-shoulder portions 214 of each of positioning protruding pieces 211a and 211b, and are secured with screws; whether the navigation side connector 109 and the LCD side connector 205 are connected or not can be confirmed by presence or absence of a fitting between a fitting pawl 118 of the outer wall surface and a fitting hole 213.
Claims3
A vehicle-mounted information apparatus, comprising:
- a first chassis shaped like a box;
- a first circuit board positioned and fixed inside the first chassis;
- a second chassis shaped like a plate which is an internal component of a design panel that covers one surface of the first chassis, and which is secured to the first chassis;
- a second circuit board positioned and fixed at a surface of the second chassis facing the first chassis;
- a pair of board-to-board connectors mounted respectively at positions of the first circuit board and the second circuit board to face each other, when the first chassis and the second chassis are put in an assembled state;
- two bosses arranged protrusively on each of a pair of opposing outer wall surfaces of the first chassis;
- a pair of protrusive pieces protruding respectively from a pair of opposing side parts of the second chassis toward the first chassis side, such that the pieces are abutted against a pair of opposing outer wall surfaces of the first chassis, respectively, and also that corresponding protruding tip portions thereof are each inserted between the two bosses, so that both-shoulder portions formed at the corresponding protruding tip portion are latched on the two bosses, thereby performing a positioning between the first chassis and the second chassis;
- and
- a fixing part for fixing the protrusive pieces of the second chassis to the outer wall surfaces of the first chassis.
