  • Publication number: 20250280520
    Abstract: An apparatus comprising an electronic unit is provided. The electronic unit may include a housing having a cover and a base that define an opening for receiving a printed circuit board, and a plurality of electronics positioned thereon that may generate electromagnetic interference (EMI) and be susceptible to water damage. A first gasket dispensed onto the cover is configured to at least partially remove electromagnetic interference generated from the plurality of electronics and to prevent liquid from entering into the opening of the housing. A second gasket dispensed onto the base is configured to prevent liquid from penetrating into the opening of the housing. A connector support fitted between the cover and the base may include a first rib that presses into the second gasket to prevent liquid from penetrating into the housing, and a second rib that bites into the base of the housing to provide EMI contact.

  • Publication number: 20250113469
    Abstract: An electronics unit including a plurality of electronics positioned therein that generate electromagnetic interference (EMI) and/or thermal energy. The electronics unit may include a housing defining a plurality of openings positioned on a first side thereof, and a plurality of clips attached to the housing. A corresponding clip of the plurality of clips is positioned in a corresponding opening of the plurality of opening for attachment to a vehicle. The plurality of clips enables thermal energy to be transmitted from the plurality of electronics to a first portion of the vehicle, and mitigates the EMI, when the electronics unit is attached to the vehicle.
