Abstract
Embodiments include enclosures for protecting electronics such as circuit board and battery assemblies in high-pressure environments. Customized pressure distribution structures are positioned around the electronics. The pressure distribution structures include cavities that are sized to distribute pressure across the electronics in a predetermined manner based on known pressure tolerances of components or portions of the electronics. The pressure distribution structures may include various features such as vias for enhancing thermal conductivity. The enclosure may be sealed and surrounded by an envelope. Methods for manufacturing such enclosures are disclosed.
