Input Apparatus And Assembly Method

An input apparatus comprising:

• a casing having an opening on one side in a first direction;
• a panel at least partly exposed through the opening, the panel being configured to receive a touch operation on an operation surface and a pressing operation toward the other side in the first direction;
• a holder disposed in the casing and supporting the panel, the holder reciprocating in the first direction together with the panel along with the pressing operation on the panel;
• a board disposed in the casing;
• a sensor provided on the panel, the sensor being configured to detect the touch operation;
• a pressure detecting portion provided on the board, the pressure detecting portion being configured to detect the pressing operation;
• and
• a connector that is provided on the board and connects to a signal cable extending from the sensor,
• wherein the holder includes a temporary holding portion that holds the board in a state where the board is movable at least in the first direction relative to the holder, and
• wherein the casing includes a stopper that comes into contact with the board held by the temporary holding portion from the other side in the first direction.
