Abstract
A fixing piece of a holder is inserted and fitted in a fixing hole in a housing, so that the fixing piece is embraced by a surrounding portion to be held in position. Therefore, positioning can be effected accurately, and the fixing force can be increased. No force will be exerted on other portions, and therefore, an intimate contact with a board can be maintained.
