Electronic assembly with a compressive electrical connection between a circuit board and housing

An electronic assembly comprising:

• a first housing portion having one or more recesses along at least a portion of a perimeter of the first housing portion;
• a second housing portion having one or more arms extending from a body of the second housing portion to engage the one or more recesses in a snap-fit connection;
• a cavity formed between the first housing portion and the second housing portion;
• and
• a circuit board residing in the cavity, the circuit board having a conductive trace facing the first housing portion having a metallic conductive region, wherein the snap-fit connection forms an electrical and mechanical connection between the conductive trace and the metallic conductive region, the circuit board including:
• a first power electronics module region;
• a second power electronics module region;
• and
• a third power electronics module region, each of the first power electronics module region, the second power electronics module region, and the third power electronics module region including an inverter, each inverter including a set of alternating current terminals that are mounted on the circuit board and that extend through the second housing portion, and wherein the first power electronics module region, the second power electronics module region, and the third power electronics module region share a common set of direct current terminals on an exterior of the second housing portion.
