PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily attach a connector to a housing in a secure manner while securing the waterproofness of the connector.SOLUTION: An electronic apparatus is provided with: a housing 3 in which a connector opening 12 is formed; an electronic circuit board housed in the housing 3; a USB connector 7 which is connected with the electronic circuit board and has a tip exposed from the connector opening 12; and a waterproof packing 14 which fits in an outer periphery of the USB connector 7 and tightly adheres to an inner periphery of the connector opening 12. A spacer insertion part 7d which is narrower than the base end side is formed at a position of the USB connector 7 which is located closer to the tip side relative to the waterproof packing 14. A spacer 15 is press-fitted from the outer side of the connector opening 12 into the spacer insertion part 7d. 【課題】コネクタ自体の防水性を確保しながら、コネクタを容易に筐体にぐらつかないように取付できるようにする。【解決手段】コネクタ用開口１２が形成された筐体３と、筐体３内に収容される電子回路基板と、電子回路基板に接続され、コネクタ用開口１２から先端が露出するＵＳＢコネクタ７と、ＵＳＢコネクタ７外周に嵌合されてコネクタ用開口１２内周に密着する防水パッキン１４とを設ける。ＵＳＢコネクタ７における防水パッキン１４よりも先端側に、基端側よりも細くなったスペーサ挿入部７ｄを形成し、このスペーサ挿入部７ｄにコネクタ用開口１２外側からスペーサ１５を圧入する。【選択図】図１
