  • Publication number: 20140300304
    Abstract: In an electric power steering driving unit provided with an electric motor that outputs auxiliary torque to a handwheel of a vehicle, a control apparatus having semiconductor switching devices that each control a current to the electric motor, and a noise filter that prevents noise, produced when the semiconductor switching devices each control a current to the electric motor, from being emitted, the noise filter is configured with a plurality of coils, capacitors that make pairs with the respective corresponding coils, and a bus bar that performs connections among the coils and the capacitors, and part of or all of the noise filter is configured as a structural member that is different from the control apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20140145548
    Abstract: A material of the stator core is different from a material of the housings, in a state where one end portion in the axis direction of the stator core is contacted to the first housing, and the other end portion in the axis direction of the stator core is contacted to the second housing; and a neighboring portion of a contact portion, at which the first housing is contacted to the stator core, and another neighboring portion of a contact portion, at which the second housing is contacted to the stator core, are connected by a connecting component in the axis direction, of which material is the same as a material of the stator core, whereby the first housing and the second housing are connected each other; and the first housing and the second housing face each other in a state where a gap intervenes between both housings.

  • Patent number: 6837734
    Abstract: A system and method for transporting connectors for printed circuit boards using connectors which are protected from tilting in a magazine case. Each connector (11) for printed circuit boards has a housing (13) narrow and elongate to hold a few contacts (12), a pair of lockable elastic legs (15) disposed at lower end regions of opposite lateral walls (14) of the housing and protruding sideways, and locking pawls (16) formed integral with the respective elastic legs. A pair of supplementary lugs (17) formed integral with upper end regions of the lateral walls (14) also protrude sideways the same distance as the pawls, so that when the connectors are driven forth within a magazine case (25), the neighboring supplementary lugs (17) will contact each other simultaneously as the neighboring pawls (16) jostle one another, protecting the connectors from tilting, and thus delivering them in line and in an ordinarily way.

  • Patent number: 6773270
    Abstract: A unit is composed in such a manner that the circuit board is fixed along the back face of the plug housing into which the contacts are incorporated. The plug type connector is assembled in such a manner that the cover housing is slid in parallel with the surface of the circuit board and incorporated into the unit. At this time, the edge section of the circuit board and the edge section of the plug housing, which is set along the circuit board, are introduced into the guide groove of the cover housing.

  • Patent number: 6386899
    Abstract: A receptacle type connector fixed to a side plate of an image forming device body includes a primary inserting and drawing recess which is open upward. A contact holding wall of an opponent plug type connector is inserted into and drawn out from the primary inserting and drawing recess. Even when toner intrudes into the primary inserting and drawing recess which is open, the toner can be discharged from the connector via the through-hole, which is formed in a lower portion of the primary inserting and drawing recess, by lightly tapping the receptacle type connector.
