  • Preventing liquid ingress in a device
    Patent number: 12101887
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a method of manufacturing (100) is described. The method comprises providing (102) a first layer defining a first inner surface (203a) and a first outer surface (203b), a second layer defining a second inner surface (205a) and a second outer surface (205b), and an electrical component (206) positioned on the first inner surface or the second inner surface. The method further comprises attaching (104) the first and second layers together to create a device (200) comprising the first and second layers, wherein the first outer surface and the second outer surface define an external surface of the device. The device further comprises a sealed portion (208) defined by liquid-tight attachment between the first and second inner surfaces. In use of the device, the sealed portion prevents liquid ingress into the device between the first and second layers towards the electrical component.
