  • Patent number: 11046356
    Abstract: [Problem] In an electric power steering device that includes a filter section, the electric power steering device in which a motor and a control unit are integrated with each other, a device that aims to improve the noise suppression function of the filter section and improve workability is provided. [Solution] In an electric power steering device that includes a filter section, the electric power steering device in which a motor and a control unit are integrated with each other, the control unit includes a filter module forming the filter section connected near a connector for power supply placed in an outermost portion, and this filter module is configured with wiring for electric conduction, coils and, and a filter substrate on which capacitors are mounted.

  • Patent number: 10548213
    Abstract: An electronic controlling apparatus includes a circuit board in which conductor layers and insulating layers are disposed alternately. In some embodiments, thicknesses of an upper portion outer conductor layer that is disposed on a first surface of the circuit board and a lower portion outer conductor layer that is disposed on a second surface of the circuit board are identical and have greatest thickness among the conductor layers, or thicknesses of a first outermost position inner conductor layer and a second outermost position inner conductor layer that are positioned at two end portions inside the circuit board are identical and have greatest thickness among the conductor layers, and the conductor layers are disposed symmetrically so as to have a central plane in a thickness direction of the circuit board as a plane of symmetry. In some embodiments, thicknesses and arrangements of conductor layers are not symmetrical in the thickness direction of the circuit board.
