Patent ID: 8403682

Claim:
An electronic control device comprising: a first circuit board; a second circuit board overlapping with the first circuit board with a space therebetween; and a plurality of terminal pins through which the first circuit board and the second circuit board are electrically connected with each other; wherein each of the plurality of terminal pins comprises a first circuit board side connecting portion connected to the first circuit board, a second circuit board side connecting portion connected to the second circuit board, and an intermediate connecting portion disposed between the first circuit board side connecting portion and the second circuit board side connecting portion, the intermediate connecting portion extending in an overlapping direction in which the first circuit board and the second circuit board overlap with each other, the intermediate connecting portions of the plurality of terminal pins are disposed between the first circuit board and the second circuit board and aligned in a row along a predetermined alignment direction, and the plurality of terminal pins at least partially comprise adjacent two terminal pins which are formed into a bent shape such that the first circuit board side connecting portion of one of the adjacent two terminal pins is offset relative to the first circuit board side connecting portion of the other of the adjacent two terminal pins in a direction perpendicular to the predetermined alignment direction, wherein the first circuit board side connecting portion comprises a contact portion extending substantially parallel to the first circuit board and contacted with the first circuit board, and a raised portion substantially perpendicularly raised up relative to the first circuit board, and wherein each of the plurality of terminal pins further comprises a bent portion bent to project toward an opposite side of the contact portion of the first circuit board side connecting portion, the bent portion comprising a portion that extends from one end of the intermediate connecting portion in a direction substantially parallel to the first circuit board and is connected with the raised portion of the first circuit board side connecting portion, and the intermediate connecting portion is located in the bent portion.
