Abstract
A fastening member for an electronic circuit board having an elastically deformable leg formed in a case for housing the electronic circuit board and a projection formed continuous with the leg to be engaged with the electronic circuit board so as to fasten the electronic circuit board on a prescribed mounting surface in the case. In the member, the projection is engaged with the electronic circuit board such that a prescribed angle is formed between a surface of the projection contacting the electronic circuit board, when the electronic circuit board is fastened on the mounting surface in the case. With this, since the tangent between the board contact surface and the electronic circuit board is variable within the range of the board contact surface, molding error can be tolerated (absorbed) and volumetric variation produced by temperature change can be readily coped with.
