Abstract

An optical encoder module includes a housing that includes at least one recess having an open end and an opposite closed end, and an electrical component accommodated within the recess. A first locking member is formed on the electrical component and a second locking member is formed in the housing. The first and second locking members are engaged with each other for locking the electrical component, when inserted into said recess, into a locking position. At least one resiliently compressible protrusion is provided between the electrical component and the closed end of the recess so as to be resiliently compressed therebetween into its compressed state when the electrical component is locked in the recess in its locking position.
