Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The control unit includes a wiring board on which a connector is disposed. The connector is disposed on a back surface of the wiring board, the back surface being a back surface on a back side of a facing surface facing a body of the control unit. The wiring board includes legs protruding from the back surface on the back side of the facing surface facing the body.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A control unit comprising: a wiring board comprising a plate member, on which a connector and plural wires are disposed, wherein the connector is disposed on a back surface of the wiring board, the back surface being a surface on a back side of a facing surface of the wiring board facing a body of the control unit, the plural wires are bundled and fixed to the wiring board, the wiring board includes two legs protruding from the back surface on the back side of the facing surface facing the body, the connector is disposed between the two legs when viewed in a longitudinal direction of the body and when viewed in a width direction of the body, lengths of the legs are set such that tips of the legs are located below a tip of the connector when the legs are placed downward; and the control unit is one of a control valve unit for hydraulic control of a transmission or an inverter for controlling a motor. 2. The control unit according to claim 1 , wherein a connection portion of a terminal portion of the connector faces the body. 3. The control unit according to claim 1 , wherein the legs have a shape obtained by bending an end portion of the wiring board. 4. The control unit according to claim 1 , wherein the wiring board is disposed between the body and a lid portion of a case. 5. The control unit according to claim 1 , further comprising: a protrusion shorter than the legs on the body in a direction in which the legs protrude. 6. The control unit according to claim 5 , wherein the protrusion is a bolt. 7. The control unit according to claim 1 , wherein the legs are offset inward from an end portion of the body. 8. The control unit according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is a control valve unit or an inverter unit.
