Abstract
A device includes a latch of a door and rotates while engaging with a striker of a vehicle body; a pawl which is rotatable between a latched position to restrict a rotation of the latch and a unlatched position to permit the rotation of the latch; a motor; a release power transmitting unit which transmits a rotational power of the motor to the pawl and rotates the pawl from the latched position to the unlatched position. The device further includes a motor-side rotation board, a relay rotation board, and a pawl-side rotation board, which are connected to be integrally rotatable. The relay rotation board become movable to a power shutoff position by pressing operation though an operating hole formed in a door. In the power shutoff position, connecting between the three boards is released, and the motor-side rotation board and the pawl-side rotation board become individually rotatable.
