An integrated system includes a controller, a drive device, and a fastening supporting member. The controller has a controller connector. The drive device has a drive device connector which is connected to the controller connector so that the drive device is electrically coupled to the controller. Via the fastening supporting member, the controller and the drive device are maintained in an electrically coupled state in which the drive device connector is connected to the controller connector. At least part of the controller connector and the drive device connector, as viewed from a vertical direction, is disposed within an area from a first line segment which is perpendicular to a virtual line connecting a center of gravity of the controller and the fastening supporting member and which passes the center of gravity to a second line segment which is perpendicular to the virtual line and which passes the fastening supporting member.

Integrated system

A motor case () has connectors () fixed at motor case mounting holes (), and an inverter case () has connectors () radially movable at inverter case mounting holes (). The inverter case () is mounted on the motor case () so that the connectors () fit together. A surface seal () is disposed on a lower surface of a flange () at an outer periphery of a housing () of the motor-side connectors (), and is compressed elastically against an upper surface of the motor case () at an outer periphery of the motor case mounting holes (). A metal pressing member () is fixed on the motor case () and presses the flange (). An axial seal () is fit on the outer periphery of the housing () and is compressed elastically between the outer periphery and an inner periphery of the second mounting hole ().

Connector device

An arrangement structure includes: a motor including: a motor main body including a stator and a rotor, the rotor being disposed to be rotatable relative to the stator; a case member configured to store the motor main body; and a connecting conductor configured to electrically connect an inside conductor disposed inside the case member and an outside conductor disposed outside the case member; and a support device fixed to the case member and a frame member of a vehicle, the support device being configured to support the motor on the frame member, wherein the connecting conductor is arranged directly below a fixing portion where the support device is fixed to the case member.
