Abstract
In a control unit including a press-fit terminal, a substrate includes: a connected portion into which the press-fit terminal is connected; and a guide member, which surrounds a periphery of the connected portion and extends from the substrate. The press-fit terminal includes: a connecting portion formed on a tip end side of the press-fit terminal; and an enlarged portion formed adjacent to the connecting portion. The guide member includes: an opening portion, which opens in a direction in which the press-fit terminal is positioned; a guide hole extending from the opening portion to the substrate; and a reduced-hole portion formed adjacent to the opening portion. The guide hole is configured such that, when the connecting portion of the press-fit terminal is connected to the connected portion of the substrate, the enlarged portion of the press-fit terminal closes the reduced-hole portion of the guide hole.
