Abstract:
An enclosed electronic apparatus comprising:a printed circuit board (PCB) in electrical communication with a plurality of spaced apart electronic components having corresponding operational parts extending therefrom in a common plane; an enclosure forming an interior chamber dimensioned to house said PCB, said enclosure including first and second halves, the respective said halves being integrally formed by a planar part and a side wall part terminating in an edged surface having a complementary cutout region, at least one of said planar parts being constructed to support said PCB therefrom; said halves cooperating to form said interior chamber by abuttingly engaging their respective said edged surfaces in a plane substantially coinciding with said common plane and aligning said complementary cutout regions of said side walls to form a plurality of apertures constructed to receive a first portion of said operational parts when said PCB is mounted in said chamber; and whereby, upon mounting said PCB to said planar part of one of said halves, respective said edged surfaces may be joined together to enclose said PCB and align said respective cutout regions disposing said first portion of respective said operational parts within corresponding respective said apertures and a second portion of said operational parts positioned exterior to said inner chamber.
