Abstract
Between a control unit such as a control unit for an automatic transmission and a mounting bracket, there is provided an interconnection integrated insulating sheet including a plurality of buried interconnection patterns for connecting the control unit with associated components, such as oil sensors and connectors for solenoid valves, mounted on the bracket. The control unit is mounted on the insulating sheet and enclosed by a protective cover mounted on the insulating sheet. The insulating sheet is overlapped on the mounting bracket and the mounting bracket is fixed to a control valve of an automatic transmission together with the insulating sheet.
