Patent number: 9497866Abstract: Provided is an electronic control device which has a circuit board fixing structure with a simple configuration and suppresses a phenomenon of falling off of the circuit board from a case body by mechanical external force. An elastically deformable engaging part and an engaged part for complementarily engaging with this engagement part are provided on a circuit board or a case body. When the circuit board is slid and housed in a guide rail part formed inside the case body, the engaging part is deformed. When the circuit board reaches a predetermined position, the engaging part is engaged with the engaged part formed at the circuit board or the case body. With this configuration, the case body and the circuit board can be reliably fixed with a simple configuration.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2014Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: Hitachi Automotive Systems, Ltd.Inventors: Yoshinori Wakana, Masaru Kamoshida, Yasuro Kameshiro

Publication number: 20090007399Abstract: A strength of engagingly locking a second member to a first member is remarkably improved without causing deterioration in workability, even when improvement in the locking strength between two members is attempted using a clip. In order to lock and fix a connector housing 19 to a rotor housing 15 in an erected state, an engagement force occurs and acts between a locking claw 27 and a locking part 45, via an insertion locking male part 29 provided in a connector housing 19. By this engagement force, the movement of the insertion locking male part 29 in the inserting/extracting direction is regulated. Further, by inserting the clip 23 from the direction almost at a right angle to the inserting direction of the insertion locking male part 29, a mechanical mutual action occurs between the clip 23 and a pair of insertion engagement parts 40a and 40b, thus secondarily regulating the movement of the insertion locking male part 29 in the inserting/extracting direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 3, 2008Publication date: January 8, 2009Applicant: NILES CO., LTD.Inventors: Yasuhiro Sato, Yoshinori Wakana
