  • Method and structure for limiting cover deflection in an ECU with leakage testing feature
    Patent number: 10729027
    Abstract: An engine control unit (ECU) includes a housing; a cover sealingly engaged with the housing so as to define an interior space; a circuit board disposed in the interior space; and a fastener coupling together the circuit board, the housing and the cover, the fastener serving to limit an amount of deflection of the housing relative to the housing. The circuit board and the cover are constructed and arranged to define an airflow path from an outer surface of the cover to the interior space. The airflow path allows for a leak test to be performed on the ECU, wherein upon an affirmative determination that results of the leak test shows no leaks in the ECU, sealant seals the airflow path.
