Abstract
According to one embodiment, a connector fixing structure includes a printed circuit board assembly, and a base to which the printed circuit board assembly is attached. The printed circuit board assembly has a connector mounted on a printed circuit board, and a connector panel attached to the printed circuit board. The connector has a connector main body, a front flange projecting from the connector main body, and a rear flange projecting from the connector main body. The connector panel has a provisional fixing portion which is inserted between the front flange and the rear flange and provisionally fixes the connector to the connector panel. The base has a fixing portion which is inserted between the rear flange and the connector panel, thereby brings the front flange into contact with the connector panel and fixes the connector to the base, when the printed circuit board assembly is attached to the base.
