Abstract

It is provided an electronic control device including a resin molded body, a metal body, and an electronic component, wherein the resin molded body and a main surface of the metal body are bonded, and at least a part of a side surface continuous to the main surface of the metal body is in contact with a side contact portion provided in the resin molded body.

Claims (26)

1. An electronic control device, comprising:

a resin molded body;

a metal body; and

an electronic component,

wherein the resin molded body and a main surface of the metal body are bonded,

wherein a housing space housing the electronic component is defined by the resin molded body and the metal body,

wherein a stepped portion is provided in an outer peripheral portion of the metal body, the stepped portion having an outer side with a thin portion having a small thickness with respect to a thick portion of an inner side,

wherein the main surface of the metal body is formed in the thin portion,

wherein a side contact portion of the resin molded body has an outer side contact portion that contacts at least a part of a side surface of the thin portion, and an inner side contact portion that contacts at least a part of a side surface of the thick portion.

2. The electronic control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the resin molded body is provided with a protruding portion that sandwiches the outer side contact portion with at least the part of the side surface of the thin portion of the metal body, and

wherein an orientation of the outer side contact portion is different from tho an orientation of the protruding portion.

3. The electronic control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the metal body is provided with at least one or more protruding portions protruding towards the resin molded body, and

the protruding portion is buried in the resin molded body.

4. The electronic control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the metal body has an annular protruding portion protruding towards the resin molded body and an annular groove recessed inside of the protruding portion along the housing space.

5. The electronic control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the resin molded body is a polymer alloy alloyed by containing a crystalline resin and a non-crystalline resin, and

a glass transition temperature of the non-crystalline resin is lower than a melting starting temperature of the crystalline resin.

6. The electronic control device according to claim 5 , wherein

a crystallization rate of the polymer alloy is lower than a crystallization rate of homo crystalline resin, or a crystallization temperature of the polymer alloy is lower than a crystallization temperature of homo crystalline resin.

7. The electronic control device according to claim 1 , wherein

an oxide film of at least 1 μm or more is formed on the main surface of the metal body.

8. The electronic control device according to claim 1 , wherein

a sealing portion which seals an outer edge of a contact interface between the outer side contact portion of the resin molded body and at least the part of the side surface of the thin portion of the metal body is disposed.
