Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a swallowable sensor device, comprising: mechanically coupling a plurality of internal components of the swallowable sensor device using a post; wherein the plurality of internal components includes a printed circuit (PC) board having a plurality of projections extending radially outward; filling a cavity with a potting material; inserting the mechanically coupled components into the cavity, a distal end of each projection abutting against a side wall of the cavity thereby preventing, the potting material from covering the distal end of each projection; and sealing the cavity with a cap, wherein the potting material hardens within the sealed cavity to form a housing of the swallowable sensor device such that the distal end of each projection is exposed to an external environment of the swallowable sensor device.
