CONTROLLER, ELECTRIC POWER STEERING PROVIDED WITH THE SAME, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING BUS BAR, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING CONTROLLER

摘要

A controller includes: a circuit board; a retaining member; a bus bar that has an embedded portion embedded in and retained by the retaining member and an exposed portion that is exposed from the retaining member and that is electrically connected to the circuit board; and an electrical element that has a terminal connected to the exposed portion. The bus bar is formed in such a manner that a metal plate of which an outer surface is plated with a plating layer is cut along a predetermined cutting plane. The cutting plane at the exposed portion has a parallel portion that is arranged substantially parallel to a principal surface of the circuit board. The parallel portion and the terminal are joined to each other.
