Abstract

Provided is an electronic module that can be made more compact. A vehicle electronic module includes a casing that is to be fixed to an object, the casing including a first plate portion facing the object and a ceiling plate opposed to the first plate portion, wherein the electronic module includes: a connection portion that is provided on the ceiling plate, and to which an external connector is to be connected; and a fuse portion disposed overlapping the connection portion in an opposing direction of the first plate portion and the ceiling plate.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A vehicle electronic module comprising a casing that is to be fixed to an object, the casing including a first plate portion facing the object and a second plate portion opposed to the first plate portion,
wherein the electronic module comprises:
a connection portion that is provided on the second plate portion, and to which an external connector is to be connected, the connection portion including a tube extending along a height of the second plate portion, the tube having a top opening for receiving the external connector, the top opening opposite of a bottom end; and
a fuse portion disposed on the second plate portion and disposed beneath the bottom end of the tube and traverses the bottom end of the tube in a direction orthogonal to the height of the second plate portion.

2. The electronic module according to claim 1 , wherein the fuse portion is fixed to the second plate portion.

3. The electronic module according to claim 1 , comprising:
a peripheral wall portion extending from a peripheral edge of the second plate portion to the first plate portion side,
wherein the connection portion is provided toward the peripheral wall portion.

4. The electronic module according to claim 1 , wherein the fuse portion includes a leg portion configured to maintain an interval with the bottom end of the connection portion in the opposing direction.

5. The electronic module according to claim 1 , wherein the connection portion protrudes in a direction intersecting the second plate portion, and an end portion of the connection portion is engaged with the fuse portion.

6. The electronic module according to claim 2 , comprising:
a peripheral wall portion extending from a peripheral edge of the second plate portion to the first plate portion side,
wherein the connection portion is provided toward the peripheral wall portion.

7. The electronic module according to claim 2 , wherein the fuse portion includes a leg portion configured to maintain an interval with the bottom end of the connection portion in the opposing direction.

8. The electronic module according to claim 3 , wherein the fuse portion includes a leg portion configured to maintain an interval with the bottom end of the connection portion in the opposing direction.

9. The electronic module according to claim 2 , wherein the connection portion protrudes in a direction intersecting the second plate portion, and an end portion of the connection portion is engaged with the fuse portion.

10. The electronic module according to claim 3 , wherein the connection portion protrudes in a direction intersecting the second plate portion, and an end portion of the connection portion is engaged with the fuse portion.

11. The electronic module according to claim 4 , wherein the connection portion protrudes in a direction intersecting the second plate portion, and an end portion of the connection portion is engaged with the fuse portion.
