Abstract
Housing assembly for components, such as Hall effect sensors, comprises an inner housing of premolded relatively firm plastic material and an outer housing which is overmolded on the inner housing. The components are contained in cavities in the inner housing. Passageways extend through the inner housing to the cavities and the soft overmolded material flows through these passageways and forms a surrounding cushion within the cavities for the components. Also disclosed is a system for mounting proximity sensors on an automotive door lock or the like in a manner which detects the fully closed and the partially closed conditions of the door.
