Motor control device
A motor control device includes a circuit board having a control circuit controlling electric power to be supplied to a motor, a base fixedly supporting the circuit board, a flexible printed circuit supplying electric power to the motor, a pin terminal disposed on the circuit board, being electrically connected with the control circuit, a dummy pin terminal disposed on the circuit board, being electrically free from the control circuit, a wiring pattern land disposed on the FPC, being electrically connected with the pin terminal, and a dummy wiring pattern land disposed on the FPC, being connected with the dummy pin terminal.
1. A motor control device, comprising:
a circuit board having a control circuit controlling electric power to be supplied to the motor;
a base fixedly supporting the circuit board;
a flexible printed circuit (FPC) supplying electric power to the motor, the FPC having a first end and second end;
a pin terminal disposed on the circuit board, being electrically connected with the control circuit and the first end of the FPC;
a dummy pin terminal disposed on the circuit board, being electrically free from the control circuit;
a wiring pattern land disposed on the FPC, being electrically connected with the pin terminal;
a dummy wiring pattern land disposed on the FPC, being connected with the dummy pin terminal; and
a FPC holder secured on the motor to hold the second end of the FPC to be connected to the motor, the FPC holder comprising:
a main body;
an engaging portion extended downwardly and outwardly from the main body to be secured on the motor; and
a bridging portion provided on the main body to form an FPC through-hole where the second end of the FPC is inserted therethrough.
2. The motor control device according to claim 1 , wherein the dummy pin terminal and the dummy wiring pattern land are disposed between the pin terminal and the wiring pattern land, respectively, and a side of the FPC that extends to the motor.
3. The motor control device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a plurality of dummy pin terminals; and
a plurality of dummy wiring pattern lands equal in number to the plurality of dummy pin terminals.
4. The motor control device according to claim 1 , wherein:
