ABSTRACT:
A holder which is used for installing a part such as a light emitting diode on a printed circuit board, the printed circuit board having a connecting section and a pair of conduction terminals, the connecting section serving to mechanically connect the holder to the printed circuit board, the conduction terminals serving to electrically connect a pair of terminals of the part to the printed circuit board. The holder includes a fitting portion in which the part is inserted, a fixing portion extending from a lower rear position of the fitting portion, and a pressure portion extending rearward from the fitting portion. The fitting portion serves to locate the terminals of the part on the conduction terminals of the printed circuit board, the fixing portion acts to mechanically connect the printed circuit board, and the pressure portion brings the terminals of the part on the conduction terminals of the printed circuit board under pressure due to an elastic deformation of the pressure portion when the part is installed into the fitting portion, allowing electrical connection between the part and the printed circuit board.
