Abstract
An illustrative example motor control device includes a printed circuit board including electronics for motor control. At least one connector is associated with the electronics. The connector is configured for communicating at least one of control signals or power to a motor. A housing includes a first portion configured to receive the printed circuit board and cover over a first side of the printed circuit board. A second portion of the housing is configured to provide access to the at least one connector from outside of the housing. The second portion of the housing inhibits exposure of the printed circuit board to outside contaminants. A third portion of the housing is configured to cover over a second side of the printed circuit board. At least one heat transfer element on at least one of the housing or the printed circuit board facilitates heat transfer from the printed circuit board to the housing.
