Abstract

An electrical device storage unit includes a separation wall having a convex portion and a concave portion; a control unit having a printed circuit board whose front surface and back surface are mounted with an electronic component; an adhesive for joining the convex portion and the printed circuit board; and an electrical device that is electrically connected with the control unit by a conductor and arranged opposite the control unit with the separation wall disposed therebetween, wherein the conductor is provided passing through the separation wall and the printed circuit board, and an end of the conductor is soldered to the printed circuit board.

Claims

1. An electrical device storage unit comprising:

a separation wall having a convex portion and a concave portion;

a control unit having a printed circuit board whose front surface and back surface are mounted with an electronic component;

an adhesive for joining the convex portion and the printed circuit board; and

an electrical device that is electrically connected with the control unit by a conductor and arranged opposite the control unit with the separation wall disposed therebetween,

wherein the conductor is provided passing through the separation wall and the printed circuit board, and an end of the conductor is soldered to the printed circuit board.

2. The electrical device storage unit according to claim. 1, wherein the electronic component mounted on the printed circuit board is accommodated in the concave portion of the separation wall.

3. The electrical device storage unit according to claim 1, further comprising:

a case divided into a first space and a second space by the separation wall,

wherein the first space accommodates the control unit, and the second space accommodates the electrical device.

4. The electrical device storage unit according to claim 1, wherein the electrical device is a sensor.

5. The electrical device storage unit according to claim 1 wherein the electrical device is a motor.

6. The electrical device storage unit according to claim 5, wherein the motor is used in a shift-by-wire system.

7. The electrical device storage unit according to claim 1, wherein the conductor is embedded in the separation wall.

8. The electrical device storage unit according to claim 1, wherein the electrical device is a sensor and a motor.

9. The electrical device storage unit according to claim 8, wherein the conductor includes a bus bar that connects the printed circuit board and the motor and a wire that connects the printed circuit board and the sensor.

10. The electrical device storage unit according to claim 1, wherein the control unit is electrically insulated from the electrical device.
