Abstract
An electronic control apparatus includes a housing, a lid, a fastener, and a controller. The lid covers the opening of the housing to form a closed space defined by the lid and the housing. The fastener fixes the lid to the housing. The controller is located in the space. An isolation member is provided with an outer surface of one of the lid and the bottom of the housing. The outer surface has a liquid drip area where liquid is expected to drip. The isolation member causes the liquid dripped on the liquid drip area to flow down the outer surface in such a manner that the liquid avoids the fastener.
