Abstract
A circuit board cover having a housing having a first surface, a perimeter edge, a housing cavity partially defined by the first surface and the perimeter edge, a skirt extending from the perimeter edge away from the first surface in a first direction to partially define the housing cavity, and a plurality of ports disposed on the first surface. The housing cavity can be operable to house a printed circuit board. Each of the plurality of ports can include (i) a sidewall extending away from the first surface in a second direction opposite to the first direction, (ii) a port cavity partially defined by the sidewall, and (iii) one or more terminals disposed at least partially within the port cavity.
Claims20
A circuit board cover comprising:
- a housing having a first surface, a perimeter edge of the first surface, and a housing cavity partially defined by the first surface and the perimeter edge;
- a skirt extending from the perimeter edge between the first surface and a lower abutment surface to at least partially define the housing cavity, the lower abutment surface operable to form a watertight seal with a portion of a vehicle body, the housing cavity operable to house a printed circuit board;
- and
- a plurality of ports disposed on the first surface, each of the plurality of ports including (i) a sidewall extending away from the first surface in a second direction opposite to the first direction, (ii) a port cavity partially defined by the sidewall, and (iii) one or more terminals disposed at least partially within the port cavity.
A circuit board protector comprising:
- a housing having a first surface, a perimeter edge of the first surface, and a housing cavity partially defined by the first surface and the perimeter edge;
- a skirt extending from the perimeter edge between the first surface and a lower abutment surface to at least partially define the housing cavity, the lower abutment surface operable to form a watertight seal with a portion of a vehicle body, the housing cavity operable to house a printed circuit board;
- and
- a plurality of ports disposed on the first surface, each of the plurality of ports including (i) a sidewall extending away from the first surface in a second direction opposite to the first direction, (ii) a port cavity partially defined by the sidewall, and (iii) one or more terminals disposed at least partially within the port cavity.
A circuit board protector comprising:
- a housing having a first surface, a perimeter edge of the first surface, and a housing cavity partially defined by the first surface and the perimeter edge;
- a skirt extending from the perimeter edge between the first surface and a lower abutment surface to at least partially define the housing cavity, the lower abutment surface operable to form a watertight seal with a portion of a vehicle body, the housing cavity operable to house a printed circuit board;
- and
- a plurality of ports disposed on the first surface, each of the plurality of ports including (i) a sidewall extending away from the first surface in a second direction opposite to the first direction, (ii) a port cavity partially defined by the sidewall, and (iii) one or more terminals disposed at least partially within the port cavity,
- wherein,
- the printed circuit board is mounted within the housing cavity and configured to receive electricity via a vehicle power source and route the electricity via the electrical connection provided by the one or more terminals through the port cavity.
A breakout module comprising:
- a housing having a first surface, a perimeter edge of the first surface, and a housing cavity partially defined by the first surface and the perimeter edge;
- a skirt extending from the perimeter edge between the first and a lower abutment surface to at least partially define the housing cavity, the lower abutment surface operable to form a watertight seal with a portion of a vehicle body, the housing cavity operable to house a printed circuit board;
- and
- a plurality of ports disposed on the first surface, each of the plurality of ports including (i) a sidewall extending away from the first surface in a second direction opposite to the first direction, (ii) a port cavity partially defined by the sidewall, and (iii) one or more terminals disposed at least partially within the port cavity.
