Abstract
A drive unit used in an electric power steering device has a motor and a control unit. A motor wire of the motor has a terminal, which is engaged with a power board side terminal of the control unit to electrically couple the motor and the control unit. In such structure, the motor and the control unit may be electrically coupled and decoupled, without the use of a special tool. Further, a terminal holder is disposed on an opening of the motor by a first short protrusion and a second short protrusion, thereby coupling the terminal to the motor.
