Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electric circuit device includes a noise generating circuit unit which generates noises, a housing which stores the noise generating circuit unit thereinside, is electrically earthed, and includes an opening, a control board which is provided with a connector to connect a wiring to an outside, a base plate which is disposed between the noise generating circuit unit and the control board to cover the opening of the housing, and a high impedance component which has impedance higher than the base plate against the noises. The base plate includes a first base plate which supports the control board, and a second base plate which is separated from the first base plate. The first base plate and the second base plate are disposed to interpose the high impedance component therebetween.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An electric circuit device, comprising: a noise generating circuit unit which generates noises; a housing which stores the noise generating circuit unit thereinside, is electrically earthed, and includes an opening; a control board which is provided with a connector to connect a wiring to an outside; a base plate which is disposed between the noise generating circuit unit and the control board to cover the opening of the housing; and a high impedance component which has impedance higher than that of the base plate against the noises, wherein the base plate includes a first base plate which supports the control board and a second base plate which is separated from the first base plate, and the first base plate and the second base plate are disposed to interpose the high impedance component therebetween. 2. The electric circuit device according to claim 1 , wherein at least a part of a surface of the first base plate and at least a part of a surface of the second base plate are disposed to interpose the high impedance component therebetween and to face each other. 3. The electric circuit device according to claim 2 , wherein the high impedance component is a slit which is provided between the first base plate and the second base plate. 4. The electric circuit device according to claim 2 , wherein the high impedance component is a resin portion which is made of a resin material. 5. The electric circuit device according to claim 1 , wherein the second base plate is disposed at a position near the noise generating circuit unit from the first base plate, the control board is disposed on an opposite side to the second base plate with respect to the first base plate, and the first base plate supports the control board by a conductive prop which is electrically connected to the control board. 6. The electric circuit device according to claim 1 , further comprising: a conductive member which is electrically connected to the second base plate, wherein one side of the first base plate and one side of the second base plate are disposed to interpose the high impedance component therebetween and to face each other, and the conductive member is disposed to cover the high impedance component. 7. The electric circuit device according to claim 6 , wherein the conductive member protrudes from the second base plate toward the noise generating circuit unit, and are disposed to cover the high impedance component from an inside of the housing. 8. The electric circuit device according to claim 6 , wherein the conductive member protrudes from the second base plate toward the control board, and is disposed to cover the high impedance component from an outside of the housing.
