Method of fixing housing

Abstract

There are included: a step of adjusting, on a surface of a base plate, the position of a housing which is made of a resin and is placed on the base plate so as to partially cover that base plate, to an extent that a contact portion of the housing with the base plate is kept straddling a groove that is formed on the surface of the base plate and has a width smaller than a width of the contact portion; a step of heating the base plate or the contact portion of the housing with the base plate while pressing the housing against the base plate; and a step of cooling the thus-heated base plate or contact portion of the housing with the base plate. This makes it possible to significantly improve the accuracy of the position adjustment.
