Patent ID: 7294007

Claim:
An electronics enclosure, comprising: a housing comprising an upper housing surface comprising alignment features and barrier features, and a lower housing surface opposite said upper housing surface; a substantially planar circuit board comprising an upper circuit board surface and a lower circuit board surface opposite said upper circuit board surface and coupled to said upper housing surface, at least one of said surfaces configured to receive surface mount electronic devices, said circuit board further comprising at least one plated through-hole extending through said circuit board from said upper circuit board surface to said lower circuit board surface, said at least one plated through-hole having an interior surface at least partially coated with electrically conducting material, said circuit board further comprising alignment features; and an epoxy material at least partially coating said upper circuit board surface and said lower circuit board surface, wherein said alignment features of said circuit board are aligned with said alignment features of said upper housing surface, and wherein said barrier features are located adjacent said at least one plated through-hole and separate said epoxy material coating said lower circuit board surface from said at least one plated through-hole such that said epoxy material coating said lower circuit board surface is not in contact with said at least one plated through-hole, and wherein said epoxy material coating said upper circuit board surface is not in contact with the interior surface of said at least one plated through-hole.
