ABSTRACT:
A pair of snap pieces, a connecting section for connecting these snap pieces and a pressing piece extending out of the connecting section into between both snap pieces are integrally formed with the metallic holding plate. The printed circuit board is mounted on the fixing plate for the see-saw operating type variable resistor and then the fixing plate is formed with the holding section for fixing the holding plate. This holding section has a pair of steps projecting from the bottom surface of the fixing plate, engaging holes formed at each of these steps and a pressing section bulged out over both steps, the both steps being oppositely faced to each other through the guide groove extending in a longitudinal direction of the bottom surface. Then, the flexible printed circuit board (FPC) is inserted into the pressing section and overlapped on the connecting section of the printed circuit board mounted on the bottom surface of the fixing plate, the holding piece of the holding plate is inserted into the pressing section, thereby the claw pieces of both snap pieces are snapped in the engaging holes and at the same time the pressing piece is deformed to cause each of the connector terminals of the printed circuit board and the FPC to be press contacted from each other.
