Abstract: An apparatus includes an upper housing, a gasket, a lower housing, and a plurality of sealed threaded fasteners. The upper housing generally comprises a plurality of threaded sockets. The lower housing generally comprises a plurality of holes configured to align with the plurality of threaded sockets when assembled to the upper housing. When the upper housing and gasket are assembled to the lower housing, the sealed threaded fasteners are screwed into the threaded sockets of the upper housing through the holes in the lower housing, applying an amount of compressive force to the gasket and sealing the holes in the lower housing.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a upper housing and a connector and printed circuit board assembly. The upper housing comprises three sides extending perpendicularly from a fourth side, where the four sides of the housing define a rectilinear volume and a connector opening, and the connector opening comprises one or more first ramp features configured to hold a sealant. The connector and printed circuit board subassembly comprises a connector assembly holding a plurality of terminal pins and attached to a printed circuit board substrate. The connector assembly extends perpendicularly from the printed circuit board substrate. Each of the plurality of terminal pins comprises a right angle bend. A first end of each of the plurality of terminal pins is inserted into the printed circuit board substrate. A second end of each of the plurality of terminal pins extend through the connector assembly.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a housing, a circuit board, a sealant and a baseplate. The housing may have a shelf and a flange along an open side. The circuit board may be (i) disposed on the shelf of the housing and inside the flange of the housing and (ii) secured to the housing. The sealant may be dispensed (i) through the open side of the housing and (ii) along a gap between the flange and the circuit board. The baseplate may be compressed to the housing thereby causing the sealant to flow between (i) the baseplate and the circuit board and (ii) the baseplate and the flange.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a housing, a connector, a circuit board and a cap. The housing may have a first opening, a second opening and a third opening. The connector (i) may be configured to seal the first opening of the housing and (ii) may have one or more pins. The circuit board (i) may be disposed inside the housing and (ii) may have one or more vias configured to receive the pins. The second opening may be configured to transfer the circuit board into the housing. The third opening may be configured to receive a comb tool that presses the pins into the vias. The comb tool may be removed from the third opening after the pins are disposed in the vias. The cap may be configured to seal the third opening.

Abstract: An electronic assembly comprises a housing, a cover for the housing, a printed circuit board receivable in the housing, and a compliant pin header assembly. The compliant pin header assembly is mountable in the housing by inter-engaging features on the header assembly and the housing. The compliant pin header assembly has compliant pins for engaging corresponding features on the printed circuit board to connect the compliant pin header assembly electrically to the printed circuit board. The cover, when the electronic assembly is assembled, engages the housing and also engages the printed circuit board at a location spaced from an outer periphery of the printed circuit board.

Abstract: A vehicle ignition system includes a fob for transmitting an identification code. The fob includes a low frequency transceiver circuit and low frequency antenna. An ignition module is provided including, a housing, switch contacts and a push button slidably mounted in the housing and arranged so that pushing of said button closes said switch contacts. A LF coil is provided and is axially stationary within the housing and is located inside of the push button. An ignition module circuit provides power to the fob and establishes low frequency communications with the fob via the LF coil. An immobilizer circuit is operatively coupled to the ignition module for permitting or preventing actuation of the ignition system in response to the low frequency communications with the fob and the ignition module.
