Abstract:
1. A circuit board fixing structure for an electronic device, comprising: a base having a plurality of elastic claws vertically extending from the base, each elastic claw comprising a supporting bar and a fastening portion; the supporting bar is flexible and can endure a small deflection; the fastening portion extending from a distal end thereof for guiding the circuit board when the circuit board is assembled onto the base; a circuit board encircled by the elastic claws and having an upper surface confronting the fastening surfaces; the elastic claws are used for limiting a movement of a circuit board in a vertical direction; wherein the circuit board comprises a plurality of cutouts and the base comprises a plurality of blocks corresponding to the cutouts; the blocks are used for limiting a movement of the circuit board in a horizontal direction; the base comprises crutch surfaces extending therefrom and the circuit board is sandwiched between the fastening surfaces and the crutch surfaces; one baffle is situated a little distance behind each of the elastic claw for allowing the elastic claw to deflect from an original position but not deflect so deeply.
