ABSTRACT:
Electronic equipment of the present invention includes a first housing2with an elastically deformable thin-wall portion25formed as a part of the front wall, an elastically deformable spacer member4, and a sub board5on which switches51are mounted. The spacer member4includes a plurality of elastic members41and a second supporting member46. Each of the elastic members41includes an operating strip41athat is formed so that when the thin-wall portion25is deformed elastically, one surface of the operating strip41acan be brought into contact with a back surface of the thin-wall portion25and the other surface can be pressed against the switch51. The second supporting member46is formed so as to protrude between each of the elastic members41, and can be brought into contact with the back surface of the thin-wall portion25at least when the thin-wall portion25is deformed elastically. The elastic members41and the second supporting member46are formed integrally. With this configuration, the electronic equipment does not cause an operation error in which a plurality of switches are pressed simultaneously.
