<p>An electronic controller unit (10) is formed of first and second base plates (12, 14) parallel to one another and spaced apart having a flexible substrate circuit board (36) thereon with an intermediate portion (62) of the circuit board (36) extending between the two base plates (12, 14). A connector (16) is joined to the intermediate portion (62) of the circuit board (36) between the two base plates (12, 14) and is sealed to an edge (18) of each base plate (12, 14) to form one side of the unit housing. A three-sided frame (22) is joined to the other three sides of the two base plates (12, 14) to completely enclose the circuit board (36). The two major sides of the unit are formed by separate base plate (12, 14) pieces that are severed from an integral frame (52, 54) after the flexible circuit (36) is bonded thereto. This allows the unit to be manufactured without bending of a rigid plate having the flexible circuit (36) mounted thereto. <IMAGE></p> |
