Abstract

A structure for a circuit board attaching portion includes a circuit board on which an engaged portion are formed and a mounting part in which an engaging claw are formed. The circuit board is attached to the mounting part by engaging the engaging claw with the engaged portion. A catch preventing portion, which prevents the engaging claw from being caught, is formed on the engaged portion. Even when an edge portion of the engaged portion has an acute angle or even when there is a difference in hardness between the circuit board and the mounting part, the catch preventing portion effectively prevents a catch between the engaged portion and the engagement claw from occurring. Therefore, the efficiency of the attaching work can be improved and the circuit board can be prevented from cracking.
