A special terminal may project from an encapsulation body of a semiconductor module and may be engaged with an engaging portion of a motor case to limit a positional deviation of the semiconductor module relative to the motor case. Additionally or alternatively, a module side engaging portion may be formed in the encapsulation body and may be engaged with a case side engaging portion to position the semiconductor module relative to the motor case.

Drive apparatus and semiconductor module

A V1 semiconductor module has a coil terminal, which is directly connectable to a lead wire of a coil. As a result, the number of parts required to connect electronic parts is reduced. Further, since no printed circuit board is required, the coil terminal can be shaped in any size without being limited in correspondence to the thickness of a copper film of the substrate. The coil terminal and control terminals, which are connected to the printed circuit board having a control circuit for controlling current supply to the coil, are provided on different wall surfaces of a resin part. Thus, the coil and the printed circuit board can be readily connected to the coil terminal and the control terminals, respectively, resulting in simplification of the device.
