A solenoid control apparatus includes a resin housing having a solenoid mounting portion, a connector portion, and a circuit board mounting portion in which a circuit board is mounted. Terminals extending from the solenoid mounting portion and the connector portion are soldered to the electrical circuit on the circuit board. The circuit board has a reduced-rigidity portion in its area corresponding to a portion of the resin housing through which the connector portion is connected to the solenoid mounting portion. The reduced-rigidity portion is formed by reducing the amount of material forming the circuit board per unit area, and is more easily deformable than the remaining portion of the circuit board. When the connector portion is thermally deformed, the circuit board is also easily deformable about the reduced-rigidity portion. This reduces stress on the soldered portions.

There is provided a low-cost, power-saving brake control apparatus that is capable of performing control with good pressure regulation precision. The brake control apparatus has adjusting motor rotational speed computation means for causing pressurization control means to set a pressure regulation valve in a closed state and carry out an action of driving a pump at a predetermined motor rotational speed a plurality of times at different motor rotational speeds, and for computing in advance a adjusting motor rotational speed on the basis of the ratio between each of the motor rotational speeds and each of the pressure gradients for when the pressurization force of a pump driven at each of the motor rotational speeds has reached a predetermined pressure; and requested motor rotational speed correction means for correcting the requested motor rotational speed on the basis of the adjusting motor rotational speed in a case where the pressurization control means increases the pressure of the wheel cylinders and generates braking force in the wheels.
