Publication number: 20240055930Abstract: In an electronic control device E1 according to the present invention, a first board 50 and a second board 60 are connected to each other via connection members 801, 802. Thus, with the connection members 801, 801, it is possible to fix the first board 50 and the second board 60 without sacrificing areas for mounting electronic components on the first board 50 and the second board 60. Accordingly, it is possible to ensure sufficient mounting areas on the first board 50 and the second board 60, which contributes to downsizing the electronic control device E1.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2021Publication date: February 15, 2024Applicant: HITACHI ASTEMO, LTD.Inventors: Hiroshi SATO, Kohtaro SHIINO, Yuichi YANAGISAWA, Susumu KANEKO, Masao FUJIMOTO
