Abstract:
An electronic package comprising:a case having an opening, a peripheral wall, and a second wall opposite the opening; a circuit board suspended within the case so that a peripheral edge of the circuit board is adjacent but spaced apart from the peripheral wall of the case, the circuit board defining an open cavity between the circuit board and the opening of the case and a closed cavity between the circuit board and the second wall of the case, the circuit board having an electronic component on a surface thereof, the component being enclosed within the closed cavity; a thixotropic gel between the peripheral edge of the circuit board and the peripheral wall of the case so as to mechanically decouple the circuit board and the case; and a potting mnaterial within the open cavity so as to cover the circuit board and seal the circuit board from the opening of the case, the potting material being formed of a material other than the thixotropic gel.
