In-vehicle electronic control unit
An in-vehicle electronic control unit includes a circuit board equipped with a coil and a power supply circuit, a resin member covering the circuit board, and a metal bracket fixed to the resin member for attaching the circuit board to a vehicle. The metal bracket includes a first shield portion and a second shield portion. The first shield portion is arranged to only a part of an upper surface of the resin member so that when projected in a winding axis direction of the coil, the first shield portion overlaps at least a part of the coil. The second shield portion extends from the first shield portion in the winding axis direction of the coil and is arranged to only a part of a side surface of the resin member.
1. An in-vehicle electronic control unit comprising:
a circuit board having a front surface and a rear surface opposite to the front surface and equipped with a power supply circuit that performs voltage conversion, wherein a coil constituting the power supply circuit is mounted on the front surface of the circuit board;
a resin member covering the circuit board to protect the circuit board, wherein an outer surface of the resin member has an upper surface and a lower surface opposite to the upper surface, wherein the upper surface of the resin member is located on a front surface side of the circuit board and the lower surface of the resin member is located on a rear surface side of the circuit board, wherein the outer surface of the resin member further has a side surface that connects the upper surface and the lower surface; and
a metal bracket for attaching the circuit board to a vehicle, wherein the metal bracket is fixed to the resin member,
wherein the metal bracket includes:
a first shield portion arranged to only a part of the upper surface of the resin member so that when projected in a winding axis direction of the coil, the first shield portion overlaps at least a part of the coil; and
a second shield portion extending from the first shield portion in the winding axis direction of the coil and arranged to only a part of the side surface of the resin member,
wherein the metal bracket is to be electrically connected to a body of the vehicle.
2. The in-vehicle electronic control unit according to claim 1 , wherein
when projected in the winding axis direction of the coil, the first shield portion overlaps a whole of the coil.
3. The in-vehicle electronic control unit according to claim 1 , wherein:
the coil has an upper end surface on an opposite side from the front surface of the circuit board; and
the second shield portion is arranged to extend in the winding axis direction of the coil so that when projected in a direction perpendicular to the winding axis direction of the coil, the second shield portion and the upper end surface of the coil have a gap therebetween.
4. The in-vehicle electronic control unit according to claim 1 , wherein:
the resin member is polygonal in a plane perpendicular to the winding axis direction of the coil;
the side surface to which the second shield portion is arranged is one of a plurality of side surfaces of the resin member; and
in a direction perpendicular to the winding axis direction of the coil and parallel to the one of the plurality of side surfaces of the resin member, a position of the second shield portion and a position of the coil match with each other at least in part.
5. The in-vehicle electronic control unit according to claim 1 , wherein:
the resin member is polygonal in a plane perpendicular to the winding axis direction of the coil; and
the side surface to which the second shield portion is arranged is one of a plurality of side surfaces of the resin member and is closest to the coil among the plurality of side surfaces.
6. The in-vehicle electronic control unit according to claim 1 , wherein
the metal bracket is made of a magnetic material.
