At least one first valve is arranged to selectively allow compressed air from the inlet to enter a wheel brake chamber in use. At least one second valve is arranged to selectively allow air from the brake chamber to be released via an outlet to the atmosphere in use and control means controls the first and second valves to operate to selectively control the air pressure in the brake chamber in use.

A connection structure for electrical component assembly including: an electrical component assembly provided with a coil energized through a pair of electrically conductive members; and a housing that covers the electrical component assembly and that is provided with housing-side connection terminals. The electrically conductive member has a connection terminal section connectable to the housing-side connection terminal. The connection terminal section is bent toward a side departing from the coil so as to protrude toward a side of the electrical component assembly, and one of the connection terminal sections is arranged at a position deviated in an axis direction of the coil relative to the other of the connection terminal sections.

One embodiment provides an electronic control unit including: a base body; a control circuit board that controls electric parts; and a housing that is attached to one surface of the base body. The housing includes an accommodating portion which accommodates the control circuit board thereinside and a flange. The flange includes an attaching hole penetrating therethrough. A part of the accommodating portion is positioned on an extension of a center axis of the attaching hole. An attaching pin projects from the one surface of the base body so as to be inserted into the attaching hole. An attaching portion is formed on the attaching pin so as to be positioned between the flange and the accommodating portion. An elastic member is attached to the attaching portion so as to bias the flange toward the one surface of the base body.

A pump housing has at least two inlet valve openings located in a first row, at least two outlet valve openings located in a subsequent second row, and at least one high-pressure switching valve opening and at least one changeover valve opening located in a further subsequent fourth row. At least one connection for a wheel pressure sensor is positioned in a third row between the second and fourth rows. At least one connection for a master cylinder pressure sensor is positioned in a fifth row following the fourth row.
