Abstract

A resin-sealed in-vehicle electronic control device in the present disclosure is a resin-sealed in-vehicle electronic control device including a circuit board on which an electronic component is mounted, a connector housing that electrically connects the circuit board to an external terminal, and a sealing resin fixing the connector housing to the circuit board. The connector housing has a through hole allowing communication between a second end surface located opposite to a first end surface on which the external terminal is mounted and a side surface of the connector housing adjoining the second end surface, and the sealing resin is continuous to fill at least the inside of the through hole and cover a part of an outer periphery of the connector housing and at least a part of an outer periphery of the circuit board.

Claims (15)

1 . A resin-sealed in-vehicle electronic control device comprising:

a circuit board on which an electronic component is mounted;

a connector housing that electrically connects the circuit board to an external terminal; and

a sealing resin fixing the connector housing to the circuit board,

wherein

the connector housing has a through hole and/or a cut-out portion allowing communication between a second end surface located opposite to a first end surface on which the external terminal is mounted and a side surface of the connector housing adjoining the second end surface, and

the sealing resin is continuous to fill at least the inside of the through hole and/or the cut-out portion and cover a part of an outer periphery of the connector housing and at least a part of an outer periphery of the circuit board.

2 . The resin-sealed in-vehicle electronic control device according to claim 1 , wherein the connector housing has a linear expansion coefficient larger than that of the sealing resin.

3 . The resin-sealed in-vehicle electronic control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the through hole and/or the cut-out portion allowing communication between the second end surface and the side surface of the connector housing adjoining the second end surface is a through hole, and

the through hole has a substantially “L” shape or a substantially straight-line shape.

4 . The resin-sealed in-vehicle electronic control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the through hole and/or the cut-out portion allowing communication between the second end surface and the side surface of the connector housing adjoining the second end surface is a cut-out portion, and

the cut-out portion has a shape in which a width of the cut-out portion on the side surface is smaller than a maximum width in the cut-out portion, when viewed from the second end surface.

5 . The resin-sealed in-vehicle electronic control device according to claim 1 , further comprising an elastic member covering at least a part of an externally exposed portion at a boundary between the connector housing and the sealing resin.
