Abstract

The present invention relates to an electronic control device. The present invention provides an electronic control device including: a housing which includes sidewalls that are disposed in a polygonal shape, and a bottom plate that closes one side of the sidewalls; and a PCB-connector assembly which includes multiple PCB-connector modules each including a printed circuit board and a connector connected to one side of the printed circuit board, in which the adjacent PCB-connector modules are connected through a flexible connecting portion, in which the PCB-connector assembly is coupled to the housing in a state in which the multiple PCB-connector modules are folded at the flexible connecting portions.

Claims (14)

1. An electronic control device comprising:

a housing which includes sidewalls that are disposed in a polygonal shape, and a bottom plate that closes one side of the sidewalls; and

a PCB-connector assembly which includes multiple PCB-connector modules each including a printed circuit board and a connector connected to one side of the printed circuit board, in which the adjacent PCB-connector modules are connected through a flexible connecting portion,

wherein the PCB-connector assembly is coupled to the housing in a state in which the multiple PCB-connector modules are folded at the flexible connecting portions;

wherein each of the PCB-connector modules is connected to each inner side of the sidewalls of the housing;

wherein a concave portion is formed in the connector of each of the PCB-connector modules, and an upper edge of the respective sidewalls is inserted into the respective concave portions.

2. The electronic control device of claim 1 , wherein heat radiating fins are formed on an outer surface of one of the sidewalls.

3. The electronic control device of claim 1 , wherein a PCB fixing protrusion, which is spaced apart from the sidewall and protrudes from the bottom plate, is formed on the bottom plate, and an end portion of the printed circuit board is fitted between the PCB fixing protrusion and the sidewall.

4. The electronic control device of claim 1 , wherein the sidewalls form a quadrangular shape, and

Wherein the multiple PCB-connector modules comprises four PCB-connector modules, wherein the four PCB-connector modules are provided, such that each of the four PCB-connector modules is coupled to each inner side of the sidewalls.

5. The electronic control device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a female connector which is coupled to an upper portion of the connector.

6. The electronic control device of claim 5 , wherein the female connector includes a female connector cover which surrounds an outer side of the connector, and a pin insertion portion which has a pin insertion hole into which a connector pin provided on the connector is inserted.

7. The electronic control device of claim 6 , wherein the connector includes a connector cover which surrounds the connector pin, and the pin insertion portion is inserted into the connector cover.
