Abstract

A housing case housing an electronic circuit board, includes: a lower case portion which internally houses a circuit board for mounting electronic components; and an upper case portion which is externally fitted to the lower case portion to form a box-like member. Each of the lower case portion and the upper case portion includes a planar portion, and sidewall portions which stand from the peripheral edge of the planar portion. The planar portion and the sidewall portions are formed by using a plate-like member made of a metal material. Engaging projections which are outwardly projected are disposed on the sidewall portions of the lower case portion. Engaging holes which are passed through the sidewall portions of the upper case portion are disposed in the sidewall portions, in positions corresponding to the engaging projections of the lower case portion. The upper case portion is externally fitted to the lower case portion, and the engaging projections are engaged with the engaging holes, whereby the lower case portion and the upper case portion are fixed to each other.
