  • Patent number: 7718892
    Abstract: A housing unit for securing electronics of a control module to a vehicle may include a housing and at least two connection members. The connection members connected to the housing may be adapted to engage an adaptor member (e.g., bracket) configured to be secured to a vehicle. The connection members may include at least one connection member configured to hook into the adaptor member and at least one connection member configured to snap into the adaptor member. Protrusion(s) may be included on the connection member(s) and be configured to contact the adaptor member to substantially eliminate transverse movement of the housing. The protrusion(s) may be crush-rib(s). The housing may include features to position, support, and minimize vibration of the electronics, where the electronics maybe disposed on a printed circuit board (PCB).
