Abstract
In an electronic control unit, a pad portion thereof is firmly fixed to a terminal plate and vibration of the terminal plate under supersonic vibration is prevented so as to secure the bonding strength between the terminal plate and the wire during wire bonding. One lead portion of each terminal plate is connected to a pin of the connector and another lead portion is wire bonded to the terminal of the circuit substrate. The leads have bent portions extending from an exposed surface to be bonded in opposite directions to be embedded in the pad portion of the case such that the lead portion of the terminal plate is firmly fixed to the case.
