  • Publication number: 20240107695
    Abstract: A spatter protection cover for an electronics module includes a top wall that covers a top surface of a plastic module housing. The cover can include side walls and end walls that cover the side surfaces and end surfaces of the plastic housing. The cover can be a one-piece metallic construction that fits over the plastic module housing or can be defined by separate cover sections that can be adhesively applied to the plastic module housing. The top wall of the cover can include connector openings and/or indicator openings for aligning with connectors and indicator lights, respectively, of the plastic module housing. The cover can include ribs that establish and maintain a select thermally insulative air gap between the top wall of the cover and the top surface of the plastic module housing.
