Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of low-voltage electrical equipment, in particular to a mounting bracket, and also to an electronic device with the mounting bracket. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, switches or sockets sometimes need to be installed on a non-wall mounting surface, for example, they need to be installed on a wooden board. However, in order to save space, a mounting bottom box is generally not installed on the inner side of the wooden board. When the switch or socket is directly installed on the wooden board, there is no mounting hole on the existing switch or socket for installing a self-tapping screw, or, although a positioning hole is provided on the switch or socket, the positioning hole is too small to be used as a mounting hole for a self-tapping screw.
