An inductor comprises a base having a top surface, a bottom surface, and at least one side surface. The top surface is spaced from the bottom surface. The at least one side surface connects the top surface to the bottom surface. A core is located on the top surface and coupled to the base. At least one coil extends helically about the core. The at least one coil has at least one end extending outwardly from said core. At least one lead is coupled to the at least one coil and extending outwardly from the base in a coplanar relationship with the bottom surface. A circuit card assembly including the inductor and a method of manufacturing the circuit card assembly are also disclosed herein.

High current surface mount toroid inductor

A method for manufacturing a water resistant substrate comprises a first step of providing a substrate. The method proceeds with a step of populating at least one component onto the substrate. Next, the method includes a step of cleaning the substrate including the at least one component to form a cleaned substrate. Then, the method proceeds with depositing a multi-layered water resistant coating onto the cleaned substrate.

An electric power steering system is provided. It comprises a steering assist assembly and a motor assembly that actuates the steering assist assembly. A control module that provides steering assist commands to the motor assembly, the control module including a circuit board having a first portion having circuits thereon and a second portion that includes at least one sensor circuit that receives signals from at least one sensor subsystem. A potting material coats only the first portion of the circuit board.

Electric power steering system having fail-safe control module operation

A mounted circuit card is disclosed that has a housing with a circuit card assembly ('CCA') attached to the housing with adhesive along at least an edge portion of the CCA, where the assembly includes at least one jagged edge portion of the CCA in contact with the adhesive, or at least one channeled portion of the housing in contact with the adhesive, or a combination of both a jagged edge portion of the CCA and channeled portion of the housing in contact with the adhesive.

Mounted circuit card assembly

A method of manufacturing a printed circuit board (PCB) includes of disposing thermal transfer vias and electrical vias through the PCB. The method further includes filling holes of the vias with a solder mask. The thermal transfer vias are filled to about 70% of capacity while the electrical vias are completely filled. Once filled, surfaces of the PCB are coated with an organic solderability preservative.
