Abstract

An integrated circuit for a vehicle, vehicle which is formed in the shape of a case and which includes a pair of circuit boards, and a connector electrically connected to another connector. Each circuit board includes a metal circuit board main body, defining an outer portion of the case, an insulating layer formed on the entire inner surface of the circuit board main body, a conductive layer formed on the insulating layer in a predetermined circuit pattern, and a plurality of circuit elements electrically connected to a predetermined portion of the conductive layer. The connector includes a connector housing fixed to the circuit boards and having a recess for receiving the other connector, a plurality of through holes being formed in the connector housing, and a plurality of connector pins, one-end portions of which are connected to connecting terminals formed at an edge portion of the conductive layer, middle portions of which extend through the through holes formed in the connector housing, and the other-end portions of which project into the recess and are contactable with the other connector.
