Abstract
An ECU () includes a circuit board (), a connector () fixed to the circuit board (), and a resin portion () covering the circuit board () and the connector (). The connector () includes a connector housing () having a terminal holding wall () that separates the internal space from the external space, and terminal fittings () extend through the terminal holding wall (). The connector housing () includes a surrounding wall () disposed on the lateral surface of the terminal holding wall () to surround the terminal fittings (). A potting material () is disposed inside the surrounding wall () and separates the terminal holding wall () from the resin portion (). This can prevent a melted resin from entering a hood () through press fitting holes () at the time of forming the resin portion () by mold forming.
