Abstract:
1. A connector fixation structure for an in-vehicle controller comprising: a connector having a rectangular connector body with a top, a bottom and a pair of facing sides, a pair of protrusions protruding from the pair of facing sides in a wing like manner, respectively, and a terminal embedded in the connector body and protruding to an outside of the connector body from the top of the connector body; a heat sink made of metal and having a plate shape body, a through hole disposed on the plate shape body, and a pair of columnar convexities; and a printed board, wherein each protrusion is disposed on a top side of the connector body, wherein the terminal has a straight shape and conductivity so that a current and a signal flows through the terminal, wherein the bottom of the connector is inserted into the through hole of the heat sink, wherein each columnar convexity is disposed on the plate shape body at a predetermined position corresponding to the protrusion so that the columnar convexity faces the protrusion, wherein the top of the connector contacts a first surface of the printed board so that the terminal is perpendicular to the first surface of the printed board, and wherein each columnar convexity is fixed to the printed board via the corresponding protrusion with a first screw, which is screwed from a second surface of the printed board opposite to the first surface.
