Abstract
An apparatus includes a upper housing and a connector and printed circuit board assembly. The upper housing comprises three sides extending perpendicularly from a fourth side, where the four sides of the housing define a rectilinear volume and a connector opening, and the connector opening comprises one or more first ramp features configured to hold a sealant. The connector and printed circuit board subassembly comprises a connector assembly holding a plurality of terminal pins and attached to a printed circuit board substrate. The connector assembly extends perpendicularly from the printed circuit board substrate. Each of the plurality of terminal pins comprises a right angle bend. A first end of each of the plurality of terminal pins is inserted into the printed circuit board substrate. A second end of each of the plurality of terminal pins extend through the connector assembly. The connector assembly comprises one or more second ramp features configured to mate with the one or more first ramp features of the upper housing. The upper housing is configured to (i) allow assembling of the connector and printed circuit board subassembly into the upper housing using a vertical motion and (ii) interlock with the connector assembly to hold the printed circuit board substrate with the connector assembly and the plurality terminal pins in place within the housing.
