Electronic control module

An electronic control module comprising:

• a base plate having opposing first and second planar surfaces and having first and second major bend axes extending widthwise across the base plate,
• wherein the first and second major bend axes are separated by a central section of the base plate;
• an insulating film overlying the first planar surface of the base plate and having first, second, and third portions bonded thereto;
• a first adhesive layer bonding the first portion of the insulating film to the first planar surface,
• wherein the first adhesive layer has first and second edges located a first distance from the first major bend axis and the second major bend axis, respectively;
• a first region of the second adhesive layer bonding the second portion of the insulating film to the first planar surface,
• wherein the first region of the second adhesive layer has an edge located a second distance from the first major bend axis;
• and
• a second region of the second adhesive layer bonding the third portion of the insulating film to the first planar surface,
• wherein the second region of the second adhesive layer has a first edge located at a third distance from the second major bend axis, and
• wherein the first and second distances are substantially unequal.

An electronic control module comprising:

• a base plate having a first major bend axis extending across the base plate,
• wherein the base plate is bent over on itself along the first major bend axis to provide a cavity at least partially enclosed by first and second interior surfaces;
• a flexible insulating film overlying the first and second interior surfaces and bonded thereto;
• and
• an adhesive layer intermediate to the base plate and the flexible insulating film and having a gap therein,
• wherein the gap is asymmetrically centered about the first major bend axis, and
• wherein a non-bonded loop portion of the flexible insulating film spans the gap and is displaced away from the first major bend axis along one of the first and second interior surfaces.

An electronic control module comprising:

• a base plate having first and second major bend axes along which the base plate is bent in a "U" shape to provide an inner surface, the inner surface having first and second elongated sections separated by a back section;
• and
• a flexible circuit-carrying film bonded to a substantial area of the inner surface and having non-bonded loop portions displaced away from the first and second major bend axes along the first and second elongated sections,
• wherein, the non-bonded loop portions are asymmetrically displaced from the first and second major bend axes.
