Abstract
A component assembly includes a printed circuit board having an electronics component mounted on a first portion of a first face of the printed circuit board. A light emitting diode is mounted on a second portion of the first face. A light guide of a light transmissive polymeric material covers the body including the light emitting diode and the electronics component. The light guide includes: a cavity having the electronics component positioned within the cavity; a non-planar area of the light guide positioned above the cavity, the non-planar area mitigating against collapse of the light guide into the cavity; and a second cavity having the light emitting diode positioned within the second cavity; and a top plate of a polymeric light reflective material mounted onto the light guide directly above the light emitting diode.
