Claim:
1. An electronic device comprising: a circuit board having at least one through hole and a land, the at least one through hole extending from a front surface to a rear surface, which is on an opposite side of the front surface, the land formed on a wall surface of the at least one through hole; at least one press-fit terminal press-fitted from the front surface into the at least one through hole and connected to the land by application of a counter force caused by elastic deformation; at least one support member located on a side of the rear surface of the circuit board, the at least one support member supporting the circuit board when the at least one press-fit terminal is press-fitted into the at least one through hole; and a housing in a box shape and having a bottom portion and an opening, the opening located on an opposite side of the bottom portion, the opening being covered with the circuit board such that that the circuit board covers the at least one support member, wherein the circuit board is affixed to the housing such that the rear surface is located on a side of the housing, the at least one support member is held and interposed between the rear surface and an inner surface of the bottom portion in a thickness direction of the circuit board, the inner surface located on a side of the circuit board, the at least one support member is a separate component from the housing, the at least one support member is in a tubular shape, and the at least one press-fit terminal has an end inserted in the at least one support member.
