The number of second fastening holes 34 may be two or more.

[0035] At the winding-side supported portion R13, the second surface 3b of the circuit board 3 abuts against the supporting surface 5a of the board supporting member 5. The winding-side supported portion R13 is supported by the board supporting member 5. The winding-side supported portion R13 is fixed to the board supporting member 5 by a second fastening member 7.

[0036] A plurality of (three in this embodiment) winding through holes 35 are formed in the circuit board 3. The winding through holes 35 penetrate the circuit board 3 in the third direction D3. The three conductors of the wiring terminal 17 are inserted into the winding through holes 35. Ends of the wiring terminal 17 are connected to the circuit board 3 by soldering or the like.

[0037] Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the connector 4. The connector 4 supplies power from an external power source to the circuit board 3. The connector 4 supplies various signals from an external control device or the like to the circuit board 3. As shown in Fig. 4, the connector 4 includes a main body 40, a power terminal 41, a signal terminal 42, and a plurality of press-fit terminals 44 (connection terminals).

[0038] The main body 40 is made of resin. For example, the material of the main body 40 is polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) or polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). The main body 40 has a power supply side housing 40a that houses the power supply terminal 41 therein, and a signal side housing 40b that houses the signal terminal 42 therein. In the present embodiment, the power supply side housing 40a and the signal side housing 40b are separate containers, but the power supply side housing 40a and the signal side housing 40b may be formed from a single container. In addition, the power supply side housing 40a and the signal side housing 40b may be formed from three or more containers. That is, the power supply terminal 41 and the signal terminal 42 may be housed in a single container, or may be housed separately in three or more containers.

[0039] The power supply terminal 41 is connected to an external power supply. The signal terminal 42 is connected to an external control device or the like. In the present embodiment, the power supply terminal 41 and the signal terminal 42 have different shapes, but the power supply terminal 41 and the signal terminal 42 may be terminals of the same shape. The power supply terminal 41 and the signal terminal 42 may be terminals of three or more different shapes.

[0040] The press-fit terminals 44 are provided corresponding to the power terminals 41 and the signal terminals 42, respectively. Note that a plurality of press-fit terminals 44 may be provided for one power terminal 41. The press-fit terminals 44 are connected to the corresponding power terminals 41 or signal terminals 42. The press-fit terminals 44 extend in the third direction D3. The press-fit terminals 44 extend in the opposite direction to the extending direction of the power terminals 41 and the signal terminals 42. The press-fit terminals 44 are arranged at equal intervals in the first direction D1. Note that the press-fit terminals 44 may extend in a direction intersecting the extending direction of the power terminals 41 and the signal terminals 42 (for example, a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the power terminals 41 and the signal terminals 42). The press-fit terminals 44 may be arranged in a distributed manner at a plurality of locations.

[0041] The press-fit terminal 44 is formed into a long and narrow plate shape overall. A press-fit portion 44a is formed at the tip of the press-fit terminal 44. The width (maximum width) of the press-fit portion 44a is larger than the diameter of the terminal hole 32. A hole is formed in the press-fit portion 44a, which allows the press-fit portion 44a to be elastically deformed. Note that the press-fit portion 44a may be formed with a recess that allows the press-fit portion 44a to be elastically deformed.

[0042] The press-fit terminal 44 is press-fitted into the terminal hole 32. At this time, the press-fit terminal 44 comes into contact with a conductive layer formed on the inner surface of the terminal hole 32 and is electrically connected. This electrically connects the connector 4 to the circuit board 3. By using the press-fit terminal 44, the circuit board 3 and the connector 4 can be electrically connected without soldering or the like. This makes it easier to manufacture the circuit connection device 2 and shortens the manufacturing time.

[0043] 1, the board support member 5 is provided between the stator 13 and the circuit board 3. The board support member 5 is fixed to a case 14. The board support member 5 covers the stator 13 from above. The board support member 5 serves as a lid that closes the inside of the rotating electric machine 1.

[0045] FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the substrate support member 5. As shown in FIG. 5, a first accommodating recess 51 for accommodating an electronic component 31 mounted on the second surface 3b of the circuit board 3 is provided on the support surface 5a of the board support member 5. The first accommodating recess 51 is provided at a position corresponding to the mounting portion R11. In the illustrated example, two first accommodating recesses 51 are formed. The number of first accommodating recesses 51 may be one or three or more.

[0046] A rotating shaft through hole 52 is formed in the substrate support member 5. The rotating shaft through hole 52 penetrates the substrate support member 5 in the third direction D3. As shown in Fig. 1, the non-output side end of the rotating shaft 11 is inserted into the rotating shaft through hole 52.

[0047] The board support member 5 has a terminal side support portion R21 (support portion) and a winding side support portion R22. In this embodiment, the support surface 5a of the board support member 5 is configured as a single surface that extends continuously over the entire area of ​​the board support member 5 from the terminal side support portion R21 to the winding side support portion R22. However, the support surface 5a may be divided into multiple surfaces depending on the shape of the first accommodating recess 51 (i.e., the arrangement of the electronic components 31 mounted on the second surface 3b of the circuit board 3) and the like.

[0048] The terminal side supporting portion R21 is provided at a position corresponding to the terminal side supported portion R12 of the circuit board 3. The terminal side supporting portion R21 supports the terminal side supported portion R12 from below.

[0049] The terminal side support portion R21 has a third fastening hole 53 formed therein, into which the first fastening member 6 is attached. The third fastening hole 53 is formed at a position corresponding to the first fastening hole 33. In the illustrated example, two third fastening holes 53 are formed.

[0050] The winding-side supporting part R22 is provided at a position corresponding to the winding-side supported part R13 of the circuit board 3. The winding-side supporting part R22 supports the winding-side supported part R13 from below.

[0051] The winding side support part R22 has a fourth fastening hole 54 formed therein, into which the second fastening member 7 is attached. The fourth fastening hole 54 is formed at a position corresponding to the second fastening hole 34. In the illustrated example, one fourth fastening hole 54 is formed. The number of fourth fastening holes 54 may be two or more.

[0052] A second accommodating recess 55 is provided on the support surface 5a of the board support member 5. The second accommodating recess 55 is provided at a position corresponding to the terminal hole 32. The second accommodating recess 55 accommodates the tip of the press-fit terminal 44 press-fitted into the terminal hole 32. The second accommodating recess 55 is defined by a terminal side support portion R21 and a pair of side portions R23 extending from both ends of the terminal side support portion R21 in the first direction D1 toward one side in the second direction D2. The second accommodating recess 55 is open toward one side in the second direction D2. The pair of side portions R23 may be omitted.

[0053] A plurality of (three in this embodiment) winding through holes 56 are formed in the board support member 5. The winding through holes 56 penetrate the board support member 5 in the third direction D3. The three conductors of the wiring terminal 17 are inserted into the winding through holes 56, respectively.

[0054] The first fastening member 6 is, for example, a screw. The first fastening member 6 is made of metal. For example, the material of the first fastening member 6 is iron or stainless steel. The first fastening member 6 may be made of a resin such as polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). The first fastening member 6 is attached to the first fastening hole 33 and the third fastening hole 53 from the first surface 3a side of the circuit board 3. The first fastening member 6 fixes the circuit board 3 to the board support member 5 while pressing the circuit board 3 toward the board support member 5.

[0055] The second fastening member 7 is, for example, a screw. The second fastening member 7 may be made of resin. The second fastening member 7 may be made of metal. The second fastening member 7 is attached to the second fastening hole 34 and the fourth fastening hole 54 from the first surface 3a side of the circuit board 3. The second fastening member 7 fixes the circuit board 3 to the board support member 5 while pressing the circuit board 3 toward the board support member 5.

[0056] Next, a manufacturing method of the circuit connection device 2 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 2, 6, 7A, and 7B.

[0057] As shown in FIG. 6, first, the circuit board 3 is attached to the board support member 5. At this time, the support surface 5a of the board support member 5 and the second surface 3b of the circuit board 3 face each other. The terminal side supported portion R12 of the circuit board 3 is placed on the terminal side supported portion R21 of the board support member 5. The winding side supported portion R13 of the circuit board 3 is placed on the winding side supported portion R22 of the board support member 5. The electronic component 31 mounted on the second surface 3b of the circuit board 3 is accommodated in the first accommodating recess 51. The first fastening member 6 is attached to the first fastening hole 33 and the third fastening hole 53, and the second fastening member 7 is attached to the second fastening hole 34 and the fourth fastening hole 54, thereby fastening the circuit board 3 and the board support member 5.

[0058] Next, the connector 4 is attached to the circuit board 3. As shown in FIG. 7A, the connector 4 is disposed on the first surface 3a side of the circuit board 3. The connector 4 is disposed so that the terminal-side supported portion R12 (i.e., the first fastening member 6) and the connector 4 overlap when viewed from the third direction D3. As shown in FIG. 7B, the connector 4 is pressed toward the circuit board 3, and the press-fit terminal 44 is press-fitted into the terminal hole 32. That is, in this embodiment, the press-fit terminal 44 is press-fitted downward into the terminal hole 32. The direction in which the press-fit terminal 44 is press-fitted is substantially the same as the third direction D3. In the illustrated example, when the press-fit terminal 44 is press-fitted into the terminal hole 32, the circuit board 3 and the connector 4 are disposed apart from each other. However, as long as the connector 4 does not interfere with the first fastening member 6, the circuit board 3 and the connector 4 may be disposed in close proximity to each other or in contact with each other.

[0059] Here, when the press-fit terminal 44 is press-fitted into the terminal hole 32, a pressing force is applied to the circuit board 3. In the present embodiment, a terminal-side supported portion R12 supported by the terminal-side supporting portion R21 is provided between the mounting portion R11 and the terminal hole 32. Since the pressing force applied to the circuit board 3 can be received by the terminal-side supported portion R12, this pressing force can be prevented from being directly transmitted to the mounting portion R11, and distortion of the mounting portion R11 can be suppressed.

[0060] As described above, the circuit connection device 2 according to this embodiment includes the connector 4 having the press-fit terminals 44 connected to the outside, the circuit board 3 on which the electronic components 31 are mounted and in which the terminal holes 32 into which the press-fit terminals 44 are press-fitted are formed, the board support member 5 that supports the circuit board 3, and the first fastening members 6 that fix the circuit board 3 to the board support member 5. The circuit board 3 has a mounting portion R11 on which the electronic components 31 are mounted, and a terminal-side supported portion R12 that is fixed to the board support member 5 by the first fastening members 6 and supported by the board support member 5. The terminal-side supported portion R12 is disposed between the mounting portion R11 and the terminal holes 32.

[0061] The circuit board 3 has a terminal-side supported portion R12 that is disposed between the mounting portion R11 on which the electronic component 31 is mounted and the terminal hole 32 and is supported by the board support member 5. Therefore, the pressing force applied to the circuit board 3 when the press-fit terminal 44 is pressed into the terminal hole 32 can be received by the terminal-side supported portion R12, and this pressing force can be prevented from being directly transmitted to the mounting portion R11. Therefore, the distortion of the circuit board 3 can be suppressed, and the electronic component 31 mounted on the mounting portion R11 can be prevented from being damaged. In addition, the electronic component 31 is mounted on the circuit board 3, and the terminal hole 32 into which the press-fit terminal 44 is pressed is formed. Therefore, compared to the case where a mother board on which the electronic component is mounted and a daughter board to which the press-fit terminal is connected are separately provided, an increase in the number of components of the circuit connection device 2 can be suppressed. As described above, according to the circuit connection device 2 of this embodiment, it is possible to suppress the distortion of the circuit board 3 while suppressing an increase in the number of components, and to prevent damage to the electronic component 31 mounted on the circuit board 3.

[0062] Furthermore, compared to a case where the terminal-side supported portion R12 is not provided, the electronic component 31 can be mounted to a position closer to the terminal hole 32, thereby expanding the mounting area for the electronic component 31. Since the electronic component 31 can be efficiently mounted on the circuit board 3, the circuit board 3 can be made more compact.

[0063] Furthermore, if the number of press-fit terminals 44 of the connector 4 is increased for redundancy, the pressing force applied to the circuit board 3 increases when the press-fit terminals 44 are pressed into the terminal holes 32. Even in such a case, the pressing force applied to the circuit board 3 is received by the terminal-side supported portion R12, so that distortion of the circuit board 3 can be suppressed.

[0064] Moreover, the terminal side supported portion R12 is disposed at a position overlapping the connector 4 when viewed from the third direction D3. This allows the position of the terminal side supported part R12 to be closer to the terminal hole 32 compared to a case where the terminal side supported part R12 is disposed at a position where it does not overlap with the connector 4 when viewed from the third direction D3. The closer the position of the terminal side supported part R12 is to the terminal hole 32, the greater the effect of preventing the pressing force applied to the circuit board 3 when the press-fit terminal 44 is pressed into the terminal hole 32 from being transmitted to the mounting part R11. Therefore, it is possible to more effectively prevent the pressing force applied to the circuit board 3 when the press-fit terminal 44 is pressed into the terminal hole 32 from being transmitted to the mounting part R11. In addition, since the position of the mounting part R11 can be closer to the terminal hole 32, the electronic component 31 can be mounted to a position closer to the terminal hole 32.

[0065] Comparative example of embodiment 1. 20A and 20B are diagrams showing a schematic configuration of a circuit connection device 202 according to a comparative example of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 20A and FIG. 20B, in the case where the first fastening member 6 is not provided in the circuit connection device 202, when the connector 4 is attached to the circuit board 3, it is considered that the circuit board 3 is temporarily fixed by pressing the circuit board 3 toward the board support member 5 with the pressing member 9 when the connector 4 is attached to the circuit board 3. In this case, if the terminal-side supported portion R12 is to be arranged at a position overlapping with the connector 4 when viewed from the third direction D3, it is necessary to provide the connector 4 with an insertion hole 45 through which the pressing member 9 is inserted in order to avoid interference between the connector 4 and the pressing member 9. Furthermore, in order to prevent foreign matter from entering the circuit board 3, it is necessary to close the insertion hole 45 after the connector 4 is attached to the circuit board 3. Therefore, the manufacture of the circuit connection device 202 becomes complicated.

[0066] In the circuit connection device 2 according to the present embodiment, the circuit board 3 is fixed to the board support member 5 using the first fastening member 6. Therefore, unlike the circuit connection device 202 according to the comparative example, it is not necessary to provide a pressing member 9 or the like when attaching the connector 4 to the circuit board 3, and the terminal-side supported portion R12 can be easily disposed between the mounting portion R11 and the terminal hole 32 at a position overlapping with the connector 4 when viewed from the third direction D3.

[0067] A variation of the first embodiment. 8A and 8B, the press-fit terminal 44 may be press-fitted upward into the terminal hole 32. In this case, the connector 4 is disposed on the second surface 3b side of the circuit board 3. The board support member 5 is disposed between the circuit board 3 and the connector 4. The board support member 5 has a terminal through hole 57 formed therein, through which the press-fit terminal 44 is inserted. The press-fit terminal 44 is inserted into the terminal through hole 57 and press-fitted into the terminal hole 32.

[0068] 9 and 9B, a receiving member 8 may be provided on the first surface 3a of the circuit board 3. The receiving member 8 supports the circuit board 3 from above when the press-fit terminals 44 are press-fitted into the terminal holes 32. The receiving member 8 is provided to surround the multiple terminal holes 32. The receiving member 8 supports both side portions of the terminal holes 32 in the second direction D2 of the circuit board 3. By using the receiving member 8 to suppress from above the pressing force applied to the circuit board 3 when the press-fit terminals 44 are press-fitted into the terminal holes 32, distortion of the circuit board 3 can be more effectively suppressed.

[0069] The receiving member 8 may be configured to support only one side portion of the terminal hole 32 in the second direction D2 of the circuit board 3. For example, the receiving member 8 may be disposed only between the terminal hole 32 and the terminal side supported portion R12.

[0070] Embodiment 2 Hereinafter, a circuit connection device 2A according to embodiment 2 will be described with reference to Figures 10 to 12B. Note that components having the same functions and actions as those in embodiment 1 will be given the same reference numerals and descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0071] 11, in this embodiment, the circuit board 3 further has a second terminal side supported part R14 (second supported part). The second terminal side supported part R14 is disposed on the opposite side of the terminal side supported part R12 with a plurality of terminal holes 32 therebetween. That is, the plurality of terminal holes 32 are disposed between the terminal side supported part R12 and the second terminal side supported part R14. In the second terminal side supported part R14, the second surface 3b of the circuit board 3 abuts against the support surface 5a of the board support member 5. The second terminal side supported part R14 is supported by the board support member 5.

[0072] The board support member 5 further has a second terminal side supporting portion R24 (second supporting portion). The second terminal side supporting portion R24 is provided at a position corresponding to the second terminal side supported portion R14 of the circuit board 3. The second terminal side supporting portion R24 supports the second terminal side supported portion R14 from below.

[0073] In this embodiment, the pair of side parts R23 connect both ends of the terminal side support part R21 in the first direction D1 to both ends of the second terminal side support part R24 in the first direction D1. The support surface 5a of the board support member 5 is provided with a second accommodating recess 55A (accommodating recess) defined by the terminal side support part R21, the second terminal side support part R24, and the pair of side parts R23. The second accommodating recess 55A is surrounded by the terminal side support part R21, the second terminal side support part R24, and the pair of side parts R23 to form a closed space. The tip part of the press-fit terminal 44 press-fitted into the terminal hole 32 is accommodated in the second accommodating recess 55A. The press-fit terminal 44 is press-fitted downward into the terminal hole 32.

[0074] This embodiment can also achieve the same effects as those of embodiment 1. That is, according to the circuit connection device 2A of this embodiment, it is possible to suppress an increase in the number of components while suppressing distortion of the circuit board 3 and preventing damage to the electronic components 31 mounted on the circuit board 3.

[0075] In addition, the circuit board 3 further has a second terminal side supported portion R14 supported by the board support member 5. The terminal hole 32 is disposed between the terminal side supported portion R12 and the second terminal side supported portion R14. The pressing force applied to the circuit board 3 when the press-fit terminal 44 is press-fitted into the terminal hole 32 can be received not only by the terminal side supported portion R12 but also by the second terminal side supported portion R14. Therefore, distortion of the circuit board 3 can be more reliably suppressed.

[0076] The board support member 5 also has a terminal side supporting part R21 supporting the terminal side supported part R12, a second terminal side supporting part R24 supporting the second terminal side supported part R14, and a second accommodating recess 55A disposed between the terminal side supporting part R21 and the second terminal side supporting part R24 and accommodating the tip of the press-fit terminal 44 press-fitted into the terminal hole 32. The second accommodating recess 55A is surrounded by the terminal side supporting part R21, the second terminal side supporting part R24, and a pair of side parts R23 connecting the terminal side supporting part R21 and the second terminal side supporting part R24. When the press-fit terminal 44 is press-fitted into the terminal hole 32, fine metal chips may be generated. Since the second accommodating recess 55A is surrounded by the terminal side support portion R21, the second terminal side support portion R24, and the pair of side portions R23 to form a closed space, the metal chips can be prevented from scattering outside the second accommodating recess 55A. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the metal chips from adhering to various circuits of the circuit board 3, causing a short circuit, etc. In addition, it is possible to prevent foreign matter from entering the second accommodating recess 55A from the outside. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the circuit board 3 from malfunctioning or oxides from being generated on the circuit board 3 and the connector 4 due to foreign matter from the outside adhering to the press-fit terminal 44 or the terminal hole 32.

[0077] A variation of the second embodiment. 13A and 13B, the press-fit terminal 44 may be press-fitted upward into the terminal hole 32. In this case, the connector 4 is disposed on the second surface 3b side of the circuit board 3. The board support member 5 is disposed between the circuit board 3 and the connector 4. The board support member 5 has a terminal through hole 57 formed therein, through which the press-fit terminal 44 is inserted. The press-fit terminal 44 is inserted into the terminal through hole 57 and press-fitted into the terminal hole 32.

[0078] The second terminal side supporting portion R24 may be configured to abut against the first surface 3a of the circuit board 3 and support the second terminal side supported portion R14 from above. In this case, the pressing force applied to the circuit board 3 when the press-fit terminal 44 is press-fitted into the terminal hole 32 can be more effectively received by the second terminal side supporting portion R24, and distortion of the circuit board 3 can be more effectively suppressed.

[0079] Embodiment 3 Hereinafter, a circuit connection device 2B according to embodiment 3 will be described with reference to Fig. 14A and Fig. 14B. Note that components having the same functions and actions as those in embodiment 1 and embodiment 2 will be denoted by the same reference numerals and descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0080] Figures 14A and 14B are diagrams showing a schematic configuration of a circuit connection device 2B, and Figure 14B is a diagram showing the circuit connection device 2B as viewed from a second direction D2.

[0081] 14A and 14B, this embodiment differs from embodiment 2 in that a viewing hole 58 is formed in the board support member 5. The viewing hole 58 is formed in the second terminal side support portion R24. The viewing hole 58 is formed so that the tips of the press-fit terminals 44 accommodated in the second accommodating recess 55A can be viewed from the outside. When viewed from the second direction D2, the viewing hole 58 is formed at a position overlapping with the tips of the multiple press-fit terminals 44. The viewing hole 58 has a size that allows the tips of all of the multiple press-fit terminals 44 to be viewed through the single viewing hole 58.

[0082] From the outside of the circuit connection device 2B, the press-fit state of the press-fit terminal 44 into the terminal hole 32 can be confirmed through the viewing hole 58. This makes it possible to prevent poor connection between the circuit board 3 and the connector 4, malfunction of the circuit board 3, and the like, caused by improper press-fitting of the press-fit terminal 44 into the terminal hole 32. For example, if the tip of the press-fit terminal 44 cannot be confirmed through the viewing hole 58, or if the amount of protrusion of the press-fit terminal 44 visible through the viewing hole 58 is insufficient, it is determined that improper press-fitting of the press-fit terminal 44 into the terminal hole 32 has occurred.

[0083] A variation of the third embodiment. 15, a plurality of viewing holes 58 may be formed corresponding to a plurality of press-fit terminals 44. Also, a plurality of viewing holes 58 may be formed so that two or more press-fit terminals 44 can be viewed through one viewing hole 58.

[0084] Embodiment 4 Hereinafter, a circuit connection device 2C according to embodiment 4 will be described with reference to Fig. 16A and Fig. 16B. Note that components having the same functions and actions as those in embodiments 1 to 3 will be given the same reference numerals and descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0085] As shown in FIGS. 16A and 16B, in this embodiment, the circuit board 3 further has a second mounting portion R15 and an end-side supported portion R16.

[0086] A second electronic component 63 is mounted on the second mounting portion R15. The second mounting portion R15 is disposed on the opposite side of the terminal hole 32 with the second terminal side supported portion R14 in between. In other words, the second terminal side supported portion R14 is disposed between the second mounting portion R15 and the terminal hole 32.

[0087] The end side supported part R16 is disposed on the opposite side of the second terminal side supported part R14 with the second mounting part R15 in between. That is, the second mounting part R15 is disposed between the second terminal side supported part R14 and the end side supported part R16. At the end side supported part R16, the second surface 3b of the circuit board 3 abuts against the support surface 5a of the board support member 5. The end side supported part R16 is supported by the board support member 5. The end side supported part R16 may be disposed inside the second mounting part R15.

[0088] The substrate support member 5 further has an end-side supporting portion R25. The end-side supporting portion R25 is provided at a position corresponding to the end-side supported portion R16. The end-side supporting portion R25 supports the end-side supported portion R16 from below.

[0089] A third accommodating recess 64 for accommodating a second electronic component 63 mounted on the second surface 3b of the circuit board 3 is provided on the supporting surface 5a of the board supporting member 5. The third accommodating recess 64 is provided at a position corresponding to the second mounting portion R15.

[0090] The second terminal side supported portion R14 of the circuit board 3 and the second terminal side supporting portion R24 of the board support member 5 are fastened by a third fastening member 61. The third fastening member 61 is, for example, a screw. Fastening holes into which the third fastening member 61 is attached are formed in the second terminal side supported portion R14 and the second terminal side supporting portion R24. The third fastening member 61 fixes the circuit board 3 to the board support member 5 while pressing the circuit board 3 toward the board support member 5.

[0091] The end side supported portion R16 of the circuit board 3 and the end side supporting portion R25 of the board support member 5 are fastened by a fourth fastening member 62. The fourth fastening member 62 is, for example, a screw. Fastening holes into which the fourth fastening member 62 is attached are formed in the end side supported portion R16 and the end side supporting portion R25. The fourth fastening member 62 fixes the circuit board 3 to the board support member 5 while pressing the circuit board 3 toward the board support member 5.

[0092] This embodiment can also achieve the same effects as those of embodiment 1. That is, according to the circuit connection device 2C of this embodiment, it is possible to suppress an increase in the number of components while suppressing distortion of the circuit board 3 and preventing damage to the electronic components 31 mounted on the circuit board 3.

[0093] The circuit board 3 further has a second mounting portion R15 on which a second electronic component 63 is mounted. The second terminal side supported portion R14 is disposed between the second mounting portion R15 and the terminal hole 32. By providing the second mounting portion R15, the mounting area for the electronic components 31 and 63 can be expanded. In addition, the second terminal-side supported portion R14 supported by the board support member 5 is disposed between the second mounting portion R15 and the terminal hole 32. Therefore, the pressing force applied to the circuit board 3 when the press-fit terminal 44 is press-fitted into the terminal hole 32 can be received by the second terminal-side supported portion R14, and this pressing force can be prevented from being directly transmitted to the second mounting portion R15. Therefore, the distortion of the circuit board 3 can be suppressed, and the second electronic component 63 mounted on the second mounting portion R15 can be prevented from being damaged or the like.

[0094] Embodiment 5. A circuit connection device 2D according to embodiment 5 will be described below with reference to Fig. 17. Note that components having the same functions and actions as those in embodiments 1 to 4 will be given the same reference numerals and descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0095] In this embodiment, the board support member 5 and the first fastening member 6 are made of metal. As shown in Fig. 17, a noise suppression component 31B is mounted on the first surface 3a of the circuit board 3 as an electronic component 31. The noise suppression component 31B includes an X capacitor and a Y capacitor. The noise suppression component 31B is disposed adjacent to the terminal-side supported portion R12 of the circuit board 3.

[0096] A GND pattern 71 (electrical connection portion) is provided on the terminal-side supported portion R12. The GND pattern 71 is disposed on the first surface 3a of the circuit board 3. The X capacitor and the Y capacitor of the noise suppression component 31B are electrically connected to the GND pattern 71. When the first fastening member 6 is fastened to the circuit board 3, the first fastening member 6 comes into contact with the GND pattern 71, and the GND pattern 71 and the first fastening member 6 are electrically connected to each other.

[0097] The board support member 5 is electrically connected to GND (ground). When the first fastening member 6 is fastened to the board support member 5, the first fastening member 6 comes into contact with the board support member 5, and the first fastening member 6 and the board support member 5 are electrically connected to each other. Therefore, the X capacitor and the Y capacitor of the noise suppression component 31B are connected to GND via the GND pattern 71, the first fastening member 6, and the board support member 5.

[0098] This embodiment can also achieve the same effects as those of embodiment 1. That is, according to the circuit connection device 2D of this embodiment, it is possible to suppress an increase in the number of components, while suppressing distortion of the circuit board 3 and preventing damage to the electronic components 31 mounted on the circuit board 3.

[0099] Furthermore, the board support member 5 is made of metal and is electrically connected to GND. The first fastening member 6 is made of metal and is electrically connected to the board support member 5. A GND pattern 71 that electrically connects the noise suppression component 31B as the electronic component 31 and the first fastening member 6 is formed on the terminal-side supported portion R12. This allows the noise suppression component 31B to be connected to GND via the board support member 5 and the first fastening member 6.

[0100] Furthermore, when the noise suppression component 31B is disposed in a position on the mounting portion R11 close to the terminal-side supported portion R12 (i.e., close to the terminal hole 32), the noise suppression component 31B can effectively remove power supply and signal noise. For example, when power is supplied to the electronic component 31 from the press-fit terminal 44 through the terminal hole 32, the noise suppression component 31B can remove power supply noise immediately after it is input to the mounting portion R11. When a signal is output from the electronic component 31 to the press-fit terminal 44 through the terminal hole 32, the noise suppression component 31B can remove signal noise immediately before the terminal hole 32.

[0101] In addition, because the terminal-side supported portion R12 can suppress distortion of the mounting portion R11, a ceramic capacitor or the like that has a small distortion resistance but is small in size can be used as the noise suppression component 31B, thereby enabling the circuit board 3 to be made smaller.

[0102] A variation of the fifth embodiment. 18, the GND pattern 71 may be formed to extend to the second surface 3b of the circuit board 3 at the terminal-side supported portion R12. In this case, the GND pattern 71 is directly connected to the board support member 5. The X capacitor and the Y capacitor of the noise suppression component 31B are connected to GND via the GND pattern 71 and the board support member 5.

[0103] Embodiment 6 Hereinafter, a circuit connection device 2E according to embodiment 6 will be described with reference to Fig. 19A and Fig. 19B. Note that components having the same functions and actions as those in embodiments 1 to 5 will be given the same reference numerals and descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0104] As shown in FIGS. 19A and 19B, in this embodiment, the circuit board 3 and the connector 4 are connected using a multi-pole connector.

[0105] The connector 4 has a concave connector part 81 instead of the multiple press-fit terminals 44. The concave connector part 81 has multiple connection terminals 81a arranged side by side in the first direction D1, and a holding member 81b that holds the multiple connection terminals 81a. The holding member 81b has a recess, and the multiple connection terminals 81a are arranged inside this recess.

[0106] The circuit board 3 has a convex connector part 82. The convex connector part 82 has a plurality of connection fitting portions 82a (terminal holes) arranged side by side in the first direction D1, and a holding member 82b that holds the plurality of connection fitting portions 82a. One end portion of the plurality of connection fitting portions 82a is fitted with each of the plurality of connection terminals 81a. The other end portion 82a1 of the plurality of connection fitting portions 82a is fixed to the circuit board 3 by, for example, soldering.

[0107] The circuit board 3 and the connector 4 are electrically connected by fitting the multiple connection terminals 81a to one end of the multiple connection fitting parts 82a, respectively. When the connection terminals 81a are fitted to one end of the connection fitting parts 82a, a pressing force is applied to the circuit board 3. The terminal-side supported part R12 supported by the board support member 5 is disposed between the mounting part R11 on which the electronic component 31 is mounted and the terminal hole 32. Therefore, the pressing force applied to the circuit board 3 when the connection terminals 81a are fitted to one end of the connection fitting parts 82a can be received by the terminal-side supported part R12, and this pressing force can be prevented from being directly transmitted to the mounting part R11. Therefore, the distortion of the circuit board 3 can be suppressed, and the electronic component 31 mounted on the mounting part R11 can be prevented from being damaged. In addition, the connection fitting parts 82a on which the electronic components 31 are mounted and into which the connection terminals 81a are press-fitted are formed on the circuit board 3. Therefore, compared to a case where a mother board on which electronic components are mounted and a daughter board to which connection terminals are connected are separately provided, an increase in the number of components of circuit connection device 2E can be suppressed. As described above, according to circuit connection device 2E of the present embodiment, it is possible to suppress distortion of circuit board 3 and prevent damage to electronic components 31 mounted on circuit board 3 while suppressing an increase in the number of components.

[0108] It should be noted that the embodiments may be combined, modified, or omitted as appropriate.

[0109] For example, the numbers of press-fit terminals 44, first fastening members 6, second fastening members 7, etc. may be changed as appropriate depending on the specifications of the rotating electrical device 100. The first fastening member 6 and the second fastening member 7 need only be capable of fixing the circuit board 3 to the board support member 5, and are not limited to screws. The substrate support member 5 may be formed integrally with the case 14 of the rotating electric machine 1 . The multiple terminal holes 32 may be arranged at one end in the first direction D1. In this case, for example, the mounting portion R11 may be arranged at the other end in the first direction D1, and the terminal side supported portion R12 may be arranged to be sandwiched between the mounting portion R11 and the terminal hole 32 in the first direction D1. The multiple terminal holes 32 may be arranged in combination at one end in the first direction D1 and one end in the second direction D2. [Explanation of symbols]
