Abstract

The present invention relates to an electric power steering device provided with a torque sensor for detecting a torque using coil windings arranged in the inside of an electromagnetic yoke. The electric power steering device comprises coil bobbins which are housed in the inside of the electromagnetic yoke; a terminal block which projects a portion of the coil bobbins outwardly; and connection pins which are formed on the terminal block in a projecting manner. Further, the connection pins comprise connection members for connecting the connection pins to a sensor circuit substrate and the connection pins are arranged not to be covered and concealed with the sensor circuit substrate.

Claims (12)

1. An electric power steering device provided with a torque sensor for detecting a torque using coil windings arranged in an electromagnetic yoke, the electric power steering device comprising:

at least one coil bobbin which is housed in the inside of the electromagnetic yoke;

a terminal block which projects a portion of the coil bobbin outwardly;

connection pins which are formed on the terminal block in a projected manner; and

a connection member which extends from a sensor circuit substrate and conducts the connection pins with the sensor circuit substrate,

wherein the connection pins are arranged not to be covered and concealed with the sensor circuit substrate.
