Abstract: A switching unit includes a plurality of operation switches and terminal loads corresponding to each of the operation switches. A switch is connected to a load by way of a controlling circuit unit. Each of the operation switches includes a recognition signal generator for generating individually different switch signals when each switch is turned on. The controlling circuit unit includes a switch discriminator that generates an output signal for activating a predetermined terminal load on receiving each of the switch signals from the recognition signal generating means. By replacing an operation switch with another which contains a different recognition signal generator, the unit can cope with a change of the grade of a vehicle, change of required function and so on, making possible a reduction in the number of terms to be used, making it possible to reduce the total production cost.

Abstract: An electronic unit for a vehicle includes a control section for carrying out predetermined control management by detection signals transmitted through signal lines installed in the vehicle, a drive section for carrying out predetermined power management by control signals for said predetermined control management, which are outputted from the control section, a power branch circuit for separating one power generated from the drive section into three or more systems of power lines, and harness connecting connectors connected to terminals of the power branch circuit. Since the electronic unit per se has a "branch connecting" function of the wire harnesses, it does not require an exclusive junction box, so that the harness circuits can be simplified.
