The cover has a protruding portion protruding toward the accommodating space for accommodating the circuit board, and the casing has a receiving portion to which the protruding portion is fitted at a position corresponding to the protruding portion. The cover has a deformation suppressing portion formed so that a bending rigidity with respect to a bending which is bent with a forming position of the protruding portion as a fulcrum and is directed to a protruding direction of the protruding portion as a fulcrum is greater than a bending rigidity in planar structure in a facing surface opposed to the circuit board.
Onboard control device
Provided is an inexpensive and highly reliable resin sealed-type onboard electronic control device is mounted in a vehicle such as an engine control unit and a control unit for automatic transmission, which have a heat dissipation structure for dissipating heat generated from an electronic component such as a semiconductor element. The onboard control device includes a circuit board, a member provided to face the circuit board, a heat generating electronic component mounted between the circuit board and the member, a heat dissipating material provided between the heat generating electronic component and the member, and a sealing resin to seal the circuit board and the heat generating electronic component. And a space between the member and the circuit board is at least a part of a range where the heat dissipating material is not provided, and is narrower than a range where the heat dissipating material is provided.
Laminate-based package with internal overmold
The present disclosure relates to a microelectronic package, which includes a base substrate, a perimeter wall, an electronic component, and a mold compound. The perimeter wall extends from a periphery of the base substrate to form a cavity that is over the base substrate and within the perimeter wall. The electronic component is mounted on the base substrate and exposed to the cavity. The electronic component is thermally coupled to a thermal management component, which extends through the base substrate and conducts heat generated from the electronic component. The electronic component is also electrically coupled to a wall signal via, which extends through the perimeter wall and transmits signals. The mold compound resides over the base substrate and within the cavity, so as to encapsulate the electronic component.
Electronic medical device including a protective inner shell encasing a battery and electronic components and an outer shell encasing the inner shell
An electronic medical device is disclosed here. An exemplary embodiment of the medical device includes a printed circuit board assembly, a protective inner shell surrounding at least a portion of the printed circuit board assembly, and an outer shell surrounding at least a portion of the protective inner shell. The printed circuit board assembly has a printed circuit board, electronic components mounted to the printed circuit board, a battery mounted to the printed circuit board, and an interface compatible with a physiological characteristic sensor component. The protective inner shell is formed by overmolding the printed circuit board assembly with a first material having low pressure and low temperature molding properties. The outer shell is formed by overmolding the protective inner shell with a second material that is different than the first material.

SECURING A PCB IN A PLASTIC AND METAL HOUSING
Described herein is a system and method for securing a printed circuit board without the use of screws in a housing assembly comprising a bottom housing made of plastic and a top housing made of metal. The top housing comprises a plurality of ribs. The bottom housing comprises a plurality of flexible snap arms each having a head portion, which includes an angled lower face, a horizontal crush rib, and a vertical crush rib. Upon coupling of the assembly, the ribs exert a horizontal force on the flexible snap arms resulting in climbing of the angled lower face further onto the printed circuit board. The horizontal force may also crush the horizontal crush ribs allowing for increased flexibility between the components to adjust for interference, preventing potential damage to the printed circuit board. Vertical forces may also crush the vertical crush ribs allowing for increased flexibility between the components.
