Electronic control device

Abstract

An electronic control device includes: a circuit board to which electronic components are mounted; an electrolytic capacitor that is mounted to the circuit board, and includes a bottom facing the circuit board, and includes a pressure reduction mechanism disposed in the bottom and structured to release internal pressure of the electrolytic capacitor; and a housing containing the circuit board. The housing includes a pocket that opens at a position to face the electrolytic capacitor mounted to the circuit board and contains the electrolytic capacitor. The pocket includes in its inner periphery a bottom wall surface and a side wall surface that surround the electrolytic capacitor. The electrolytic capacitor is covered by heat dissipation material filling a space between the pocket and a part of the electrolytic capacitor wherein the part faces the bottom wall surface and the side wall surface of the pocket.
