Abstract
In an electronic control unit, a case has a peripheral side portion formed with a concave groove in which a connector is fitted with a clearance portion between the concave groove and the connector. The connector has first inclined portions connecting its lateral surface (one of its base surfaces) and its longitudinal surface (the other of its base surfaces). Each first inclined portion is inclined with respect to the lateral surface at a first angle. The concave groove comprises a base surface opposite to a lateral surface of the connector and second inclined portions opposite to first inclined portions of the connector, respectively. Each second inclined portion is inclined with respect to the base surface at a second angle. The second angle is larger than the first angle. A seal member is disposed in the clearance portion between the connector and the concave groove of the case so that the seal member seals the clearance portion therebetween.
