The purpose of the present invention is to provide a control unit whereby the quantity of a seal material to be used can be reduced, while ensuring waterproof performance. This electronic control device is provided with: a housing, wherein a plurality of members are bonded, and a peripheral end portion thereof is configured from a plurality of sides; a circuit board housed in the housing; and seal structures that are disposed along the sides at the peripheral end portion. A seal material is provided to the seal structures such that the members are connected to each other. The seal structures disposed on one side of the peripheral end portion are configured such that each of seal cross sectional areas at end portions of the side is smaller than a seal cross sectional area at a center portion of the side.

An electrical junction box includes a circuit structure, a case main body made of a synthetic resin and having an accommodating portion that accommodates the circuit structure, and a cover 30 made of a metal and that is attached to the case main body, covering the accommodating portion thereof. The cover has a covering wall that covers the accommodating portion of the case main body and a side wall that is continuous with the covering wall and that is disposed around the case main body. The case main body is provided with an abutment portion that abuts on a portion of the side wall of the cover, but not on an end portion of the side wall that is located on the side facing away from the covering wall.

Disclosed is a drop feed line device for automatically controlling flow of feed through a feed drop. The drop feed line device includes a drop body with an electrical box and a feed tube, as well as two planar circuit boards within respective sleeves removably positioned on opposite sides of the feed tube and in electrical communication with electronic components within the electrical box. In certain embodiments, the planar circuit boards include infrared emitters and receivers to electrically communicate across an interior channel of the feed tube. The electronic components are configured to transmit a signal to cease operation of an auger motor filling a drop feed line upon determining that all of the emitters cease to communicate with all of the receivers. The drop feed line device is cost effective and serviceable through the use of easily removable planar circuit boards, among other features and components.

Example embodiments described in this disclosure are generally directed to a plastic enclosure that provides EMI shielding and heat sinking to an electronic assembly. In one embodiment, the enclosure includes a housing portion formed of a base material that includes a polymer containing graphene nanostructures and carbon nanostructures. The graphene nanostructures provide a thermal conductivity characteristic to the base material. A set of standoff elements made of the base material is provided inside the housing for mounting the electronic assembly. Heat generated by the electronic assembly is conducted out of the enclosure by the standoff elements due to the graphene nanostructures. The carbon nanostructures provide an electrical conductivity characteristic to the base material. A lid formed of the base material may be attached to the housing portion. The carbon nanostructures in the housing portion and the lid provide EMI shielding to the electronic assembly inside the enclosure.

A housing has electrically conductive top and bottom parts which together form an accommodation chamber. A circuit board is arranged in the accommodation chamber. A bottom side of the circuit board is connected electrically to the top side via conductive bores. The circuit board has circuit components and electromechanical plug components for connecting to components outside the housing. A first electrically conductive separating wall electrically connects the housing top part to the top side of the circuit board. A second electrically conductive separating wall electrically connects the housing bottom part to the bottom side of the circuit board. The first and second separating walls subdivide the accommodation chamber into first and second accommodation-chamber sections that are disposed on opposite sides of the first and second separating walls. The circuit components are accommodated only in the first accommodation-chamber section and the plug components are accommodated only in the second accommodation-chamber section.

An electronic control device includes a housing that stores a substrate on which an electronic component is mounted, a first capacitance unit formed between the housing and the electronic component, and a second capacitance unit formed between the housing and the substrate, in which a noise transmission path is formed between the housing and the substrate via the first capacitance unit and the second capacitance unit.

A method for producing a container having an upper part, a lower part and a receiving element such as an electronics module includes the following steps: the lower part is created from a first starting material in a first processing region of a processing device; the upper part is created from a second starting material in a second processing region of the processing device; the receiving element is fed into the first processing region of the processing device; the lower part receives the receiving element in the first processing region of the processing device; the upper part is fed from the second processing region into the first processing region of the processing device; and there the upper part and the lower part are joined together to form the container.

An electronic control unit includes a casing and a cover which are mutually bonded. A drive circuit board which drives a motor unit is fixed to the cover and, on the other hand, a control circuit board which controls the drive circuit board is fixed to the casing. An electrical connector which supplies an electric power to each board and a motor unit is attached on an opening section of the casing. First power supply terminals of this electrical connector and the motor unit and second power supply terminals of the drive circuit board are directly electrically connected by a bonding of both of casing and the cover.

A pin connector receptacle for use with cable TV pin connectors is described. The receptacle has a cylindrical base that can accept a pin of a pin connector from any of four quadrants. The pin connector has a spring-loaded connection plate that grips a pin of a pin connector firmly in place against the cylindrical base.

A housing assembly for an electronic circuit including an electronic control unit (ECU) is a low-profile, generally rectangular device that includes a container, a cover that closes an open end of the container, and a printed circuit board disposed in the housing. The container includes an input electrical connector and an output electrical connector formed at opposed ends of the housing. The output electrical connectors includes electrically conductive pins having an irregular shape and that are partially embedded in the container in such a way that each pin has zero degrees of freedom of movement relative to the container.
