Abstract

A component assembly includes a body having an electronics component mounted on a first face of the body. A light emitting diode is mounted on a first portion of the first face. A top plate is attached to the body and covers the light emitting diode and the electronics component. The top plate includes: a first cavity having the electronics component positioned within the first cavity; and a first support area homogeneously connected to the top plate and extending from the top plate to directly contact the body outside of the cavity to provide support for the top plate and to mitigate against collapse of the cavity.
