Abstract: A method for manufacturing a water resistant substrate comprises a first step of providing a substrate. The method proceeds with a step of populating at least one component onto the substrate. Next, the method includes a step of cleaning the substrate including the at least one component to form a cleaned substrate. Then, the method proceeds with depositing a multi-layered water resistant coating onto the cleaned substrate.

Abstract: An inductor comprises a base having a top surface, a bottom surface, and at least one side surface. The top surface is spaced from the bottom surface. The at least one side surface connects the top surface to the bottom surface. A core is located on the top surface and coupled to the base. At least one coil extends helically about the core. The at least one coil has at least one end extending outwardly from said core. At least one lead is coupled to the at least one coil and extending outwardly from the base in a coplanar relationship with the bottom surface. A circuit card assembly including the inductor and a method of manufacturing the circuit card assembly are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: An electric power steering system is provided. It comprises a steering assist assembly and a motor assembly that actuates the steering assist assembly. A control module that provides steering assist commands to the motor assembly, the control module including a circuit board having a first portion having circuits thereon and a second portion that includes at least one sensor circuit that receives signals from at least one sensor subsystem. A potting material coats only the first portion of the circuit board.
