Abstract: A reaction force output device is provided with: a drive unit that drives a drive member to output a force in a direction opposite to an operating direction to an operated element operated by an operator; and a control unit that determines whether or not a space is formed between the operated element and the drive member, and if it is determined that the space is formed, controls the drive unit to output a greater driving force than when it is determined that the space is not formed.

Abstract: The reaction force output device includes a drive source configured to output power to an operation portion in a direction opposite to an operating direction thereof; and a clutch mechanism interposed between the operation portion and the drive source and configured to connect and disconnect transmission of the power to the operation portion, wherein the clutch mechanism includes a first rotating body connected to the drive source side and to which the power of the drive source is transmitted, a second rotating body connected to the operation portion side, disposed coaxially with the first rotating body and configured to be relatively rotatable with respect to the first rotating body, a clutch lever rotatably supported by the first rotating body, and a plurality of engagement portions disposed at the second rotating body in a circumferential direction thereof and engaged with the clutch lever.

Abstract: A chip 12 having an electric circuit and a plurality of leads 8 connected electrically with the chip 12 are molded in a resin-sealed package 46 by a molding material containing a main component of a resin, by introducing a molding compound sheet 20 into the cavities 33 of molds 31, 32 before the molds are clamped, by melting the molding compound sheet 20 in the cavities 33 into a liquid molding material 45 after the mold clamping action to pressure fill up the inside of the cavities 33, and by setting the liquid molding material 45 integrally.
