Abstract
A method of molding an electrical element within an associated plastic housing so as to provide a one-piece finished component where the electrical element, joints between the electrical element and the housing, and seams between a premold portion and an overmold portion of the plastic housing are designed and positioned for shielding from ambient atmosphere so that the electrical element is protected from contamination and degradation from the elements.
