Abstract
An electronic circuit unit includes a circuit board mounted within a frame member, an electronic component with a cover mounted on the circuit board, and linear terminals passing through and being mounted in the circuit board. The terminals include first and second terminal groups arranged at an interval between the respective terminals in a line. The terminal groups are arranged in a line in the vicinity of one side of the circuit board. An opening portion is provided between the first and second terminal groups, and the electronic component with the cover is mounted on the circuit board while being disposed in the opening portion. As a result, a space factor for the arrangement of the electronic component with the cover is very good, and thus it is possible to reduce a widthwise dimension of the circuit board.
