Abstract
An electronic control module includes a body portion, a printed circuit board positioned within the body portion, and a cap portion adapted to mate with the body portion. One of the body portion and the cap portion is formed with a groove and the other of the body portion and the cap portion is formed with a projection that is resiliently deformable upon entry into the groove to mechanically and sealingly couple the body portion and the cap portion. In some constructions, the projection is a U-shaped flange. In some constructions, the body portion and the cap portion are formed by molding a metal alloy from a thixotropic state.
