Waterproofing structure and related electronic device

A waterproofing structure is disposed between a first assembling component and a second assembling component of an electronic device. The second assembling component is detachably installed on the first assembling component. The waterproofing structure includes a sealing component, an abutting component and a sliding component. The sealing component is located between the first assembling component and the second assembling component. The abutting component is fixed on the second assembling component. The sliding component is slidably installed on the first assembling component. When the sliding component slides along a first direction, the sliding component forces the abutting component to drive the second assembling component to move toward the first assembling component, so that the sealing component is pressed by the first assembling component and the second assembling component.

Control of electric field effects in a printed circuit board assembly using embedded nickel-metal composite materials

A printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) controls an electrically-initiated device (EID) in an electric field. The PCBA includes a conductive layer, a dielectric layer, and a trans-conductive layer (TCL). The conductive layer of the PCBA designated protected areas. An electrical current with a predetermined current density is impressed in the conductive layer when the PCBA is in the electric field. The TCL is a nickel-metal composite metamaterial positioned between the conductive and dielectric layers and configured to change in shape or thickness in the electric field such that the impressed current is steered away from the conductive layer and into the dielectric layer to prevent premature activation of the EID. A system includes an outer housing, power supply, an EID such as a sonobuoy or medical device, and the PCBA, all of which are encapsulated in the housing. A method is also disclosed for manufacturing the PCBA.
