Abstract:
An electronic device includes one or more active or passive electronic components, one or more metal coupons, and a printed circuit board. The one or more active electronic components are mounted on a first side of a printed circuit board while the one or more metal coupons are mounted on a second side of the printed circuit board. The electronic device further includes an adhesive that bonds at least a portion of the metal coupon to the second side of the printed circuit board. A method of making the electronic devices includes the steps of forming a metal coupon into a predetermined shape followed by adhering the metal coupon to a printed circuit board.
Abstract:
The present invention contemplates to power adjustable seats in vehicles that include a seat motors assembly having snap together features to secure one or more metal motor housings between housing end caps. The snap together features have portions that elastically deform and snap back into position to secure the assembly together, while allowing for easy disassembly for servicing.
Abstract:
A push-button assembly for a vehicle includes a housing having at least one housing finger that is defined by a housing opening. A push-button is integrated with the housing finger wherein the housing finger has a push-button stem integrated therewith. Additionally, the push-button assembly may include a light pipe capture that is also integrated with the housing. Furthermore, the assembly may include a circuit board having switch that is disposed within the housing.
Abstract:
A housing has a housing portion with a main portion and a retainer extending from the main portion. The retainer may cooperate with a first printed circuit board element to hold the first printed circuit board element in spaced relation to the main portion and hold a second printed circuit board element in spaced relation to the first printed circuit board element. The housing may have first and second housing portions that cooperate to form an enclosure for supporting a printer circuit board. A support element extends from the first housing portion. The retainer cooperates with the first printed circuit board element to pull the first printed circuit board element toward the support element, which supports the first printed circuit board element in spaced relation to the first housing portion. The retainer also holds a second printed circuit board element in spaced relation to the first printed circuit board element. The housing may be used in a control module.
