Abstract:
1. An electric power steering apparatus, comprising: an electric motor for outputting an assist torque to a handle of a vehicle; and a controller for controlling drive of the electric motor, wherein the controller comprises: wherein the capacitors are arranged in a row along an end surface of one side of the power board and are electrically connected to the high-current conductive plates, and wherein the signal conductive plates are located on a side which is opposed to a side along which the capacitors are arranged and each of the signal conductive plates has one end electrically connected to a wiring pattern formed on the power board and another end electrically connected to the control board, wherein each of the signal conductive plates has a first path passing from the frame-like insulating resin to the power board and a second path passing from the frame-like insulating resin to the control board, and wherein a gap for absorbing deflection is formed in an area in which the first path and the second path are opposed to each other.
