ELECTRONIC CONTROL DEVICE

The shape of an abutting portion where a heat sink and an electronic component or the heat sink and a connection wire abut against each other, through the intermediary of an intermediate member, is contrived so that there is provided an electronic control unit that can raise the easiness of production including the intermediate member, while securing the heat radiation performance. There is provided an electric power converter in which an intermediate member (12) having an insulating property and a heat-conductive property is provided in a gap between a heat sink (11) and a connection wire abutting portion (13) or an electronic component (2), in which the top surface of a maximum heat generating component (8) is a plane, and in which the portion, of the heat sink (11), that faces the top surface of the maximum heat generating component (8) is part of a basic plane (31).
