[0056] will refer to Figure 13 An electronic control unit 1 according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure is described. In this embodiment, the area of ​​the surface of the insertion portion 61 facing the heat sink 44 is smaller than the area of ​​the surface of the heat sink 44 facing the insertion portion 61 . The insertion portion 61 and the heat sink 44 are joined to each other by welding. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, when a large current flows into the MOSFET 40 for a short time, the heat sink 44 and the heat storage body 60 store heat, and the temperature rise of the MOSFET 40 can be restricted. When current flows intermittently into the MOSFET 40 for a long time, heat is transferred from the heat storage body 60 to the heat sink 20 via the insulating sheet 70 . Therefore, the temperature rise of MOSFET 40 can be restricted. In the present embodiment, since the area of ​​the surface of the insertion portion 61 facing the heat sink 44 is reduced...

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to an electronic control unit. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there is known an electronic control unit that performs drive control of an electric motor used in an electric power steering system (EPS) of a vehicle. The electronic control unit includes metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) and supplies drive current to the motor. In the EPS, when the driver operates the steering wheel during low-speed running of the vehicle or the vehicle is stopped, a large current flows into the MOSFET for a short time, and the MOSFET generates heat for a short time. Therefore, the amount of current that can be applied to the MOSFET in the electronic control unit is limited according to the heat dissipation performance of the MOSFET. In the case where the amount of current that can be applied to a MOSFET in an electronic control unit is limited to, for example, 33 A, the electronic control unit can...
