Abstract

An electronic device includes: a substrate having multiple terminal lands and multiple through holes; an electric element including multiple terminals coupled with respective terminal lands and a body on the substrate; and an auxiliary member for assisting fixation between the electric element and the substrate. The auxiliary member includes a base fixed to the body and multiple leg portions extending from the base and inserted into respective corresponding through holes. The leg portions include a pair of locking parts, each having a latch and a spring. The latch is disposed on an insertion end of the leg portion, and is latched around the through hole on the substrate. The spring is deformable when the latch is inserted into the through hole. The pair of locking parts are inserted into two different through holes, respectively.
