Abstract
An electrical assembly may include an electrically conductive first member, a magnetic second member, and/or a housing molded on the first member and the second member. A method of assembling an electrical assembly may include disposing the first member in contact with a first mold, disposing the second member in contact with the first mold, moving a second mold into contact with the first mold, and/or inserting a housing material (e.g., liquid plastic) into the first mold and the second mold to form the housing.
Claims19
An electrical assembly, comprising:
- an electrically conductive first member having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface;
- a magnetic second member;
- and
- a housing formed over at least portions of the electrically conductive first member and the magnetic second member;
- wherein the housing contacts the first surface and the second surface of the electrically conductive first member,
- wherein the electrically conductive first member and the housing are disposed at a first side of a circuit board,
- wherein at least a portion of the magnetic second member extends through a plurality of apertures that extends from the first side of the circuit board to a second side of the circuit board, such that a sensor and at least the portion of the magnetic second member are connected to the second side of the circuit board,
- wherein the sensor is disposed, via the housing, in a center region where the electrically conductive first member and the magnetic second member overlap, and
- wherein the sensor extends along the electrically conductive first member.
An electrical assembly, comprising:
- an electrically conductive and substantially planar first member having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface;
- a magnetic second member;
- and
- a housing formed over at least portions of the electrically conductive and substantially planar first member and the magnetic second member;
- wherein the housing contacts the first surface and the second surface of the electrically conductive and substantially planar first member,
- wherein the electrically conductive and substantially planar first member and the housing are disposed at a first side of a circuit board,
- wherein at least a portion of the magnetic second member extends through a plurality of apertures that extends from the first side of the circuit board to a second side of the circuit board, such that a sensor and at least the portion of the magnetic second member are connected to the second side of the circuit board, and
- wherein the sensor extends along the electrically conductive and substantially planar first member.
