Abstract: A first circuit board 16 and a second circuit board 17, each of which have mounted thereon circuit components for controlling and driving an electric motor, are stacked with a space left therebetween such that one board surface of the first circuit board and one board surface of the second circuit board are opposed to and face each other in the direction of a rotation shaft 14 of the electric motor. In a state that the first circuit board 16 and the second circuit board 17 are attached to the motor housing, a receptacle connector 28 mounted on the first circuit board and a plug connector 34 mounted on the second circuit board form a “board-to-board connector” by which the circuit components of the first and second circuit boards are electrically connected.

The other first connector head 21B and the other second connector head 22B face each other, in the plane view of the connector terminal assembly 19, with the axial line of the output shaft 12, which is the axial line of the motor rotation shaft of the electric motor, therebetween without being offset from each other.

Abstract: An electronic control device comprises a circuit board on which electronic components are mounted, a connector block integrated with a connector that is electrically connected to the circuit board, a base to which the circuit board is fixed, and a cover that can be fitted to circumferential grooves that are formed in the base and the connector block respectively so that a connecting portion of the connector protrudes to the outside while accommodating the circuit board that is fixed to the base. Furthermore, a ventilation hole is formed in a section of the connector block excluding a formation position of the connector so as to communicate an inner space with an outer space of the cover, and a sealing material that seals the ventilation hole is further provided.

Abstract: A motor drive device includes a first drive system in which a first power supply circuit and a first central processing unit are arranged in order in a first direction, and a second drive system in which a second power supply circuit and a second central processing unit are arranged in order in a second direction. The first direction and the second direction are opposite to each other. Calling a straight line passing between the first power supply circuit and the first central processing unit, perpendicular to the first direction, a first virtual line and calling a straight line passing between the second power supply circuit and the second central processing unit, perpendicular to the second direction, a second virtual line, the first central processing unit and the second central processing unit are disposed within an area sandwiched by the first virtual line and the second virtual line.

Abstract: A circuit substrate (3) is provided with first and second rigid parts (11, 12) having six metal foil layers, and a thin flexible part (13) having two metal foil layers connecting the two rigid parts. A ground wiring (51) which is shaped like a wide strip is formed on the surface metal foil layer, and a plurality of inter-rigid-part wirings (55) are formed on the inner metal foil layer in parallel lines. Outer edges (51a) of the ground wiring (51) are positioned closer to side edges (13a) of the flexible part (13) than to the inter-rigid-part wirings (55). The ground wiring (51) protects the inter-rigid-part wirings (55) from cracks.
