Relative angle sensing device with a hinged cable harness component

An electric power steering apparatus comprising:

• a sensor that outputs an electric signal according to a relative rotation angle between two rotary shafts coaxially arranged;
• a housing in which the sensor is contained and a communication hole communicating inside and outside is formed;
• an electric cable that transmits the electric signal outputted from the sensor to an apparatus arranged at outside of the housing;
• an electric cable holding member that is fitted with the communication hole of the housing and holds the electric cable;
• and
• an outer component that is arranged at a position outside the electric cable holding member in the communication hole of the housing, and that has, at inside thereof, a penetration hole through which the electric cable passes, wherein
• the outer component has a pair of opening and closing components that is joined by a hinge and opens and closes the penetration hole by relative rotation.

• a sensor that is contained in a housing in which a communication hole communicating inside and outside is formed, and outputs an electric signal according to a relative rotation angle between two rotary shafts coaxially arranged;
• an electric cable that transmits the electric signal outputted from the sensor to an apparatus arranged at outside of the housing;
• an electric cable holding member that is fitted with the communication hole of the housing and holds the electric cable;
• and
• an outer component that is partially inserted into a position outside the electric cable holding member in the communication hole of the housing, and that has, at inside thereof, a penetration hole through which the electric cable passes, wherein
• the outer component has a pair of joining components that is joined to form the penetration hole and the pair of the joining components has a pressing part that presses the electric cable at outside of the communication hole of the housing.
