A control unit including a plurality of boards is formed of a single
multilayer metal substrate, whereby an electric power steering apparatus
can be obtained in which connection members for connecting between the
boards are made unnecessary, so the size and cost of the apparatus can be
reduced, and the reliability of bonding can be improved. In the electric
power steering apparatus, a power main body (20a) and a control main body
(20b) are mounted on a metal substrate (22), and the power main body
(20a) and the control main body (20b) are electrically connected to each
other by wiring patterns (26a through 26e) and metal columns 28a through
28d in the metal substrate 22.
