Patent ID: 7916491

Claim:
An electronic control unit, comprising: a printed circuit board, which supports an electric circuit, a plurality of electric/electronic components electrically connected to the electric circuit, and at least one connector electrically connected to the electrical circuit; wherein the electric/electronic components include at least one electrolytic capacitor which has a cylindrical shape and is higher than all the other electric/electronic components; a housing, which accommodates therein the printed circuit board and comprises a base which inferiorly supports the printed circuit board and a lid which superiorly closes the base; and at least one deformable, elastic, expanded material blocking block, which is fixed to an internal surface of the lid near the capacitor presents a thickness sufficient so as to determine a vertical interference with the capacitor to be compressed between the lid and the capacitor while, at the same time, to not touch any other of the electric/electronic components, presents a larger area than the capacitor to laterally encompass the capacitor, and presents a narrower area than the printed circuit board so as to be located only above the capacitor.
