Abstract
An electronic controller module including a heat-resistant material to substantially surround and physically protect the controller, at least one electrically-conductive member to provide input or output of at least one electrical signal through the material to the controller, and a heat-resistant lid including a heat sink configured and dimensioned to dissipate a sufficient amount of heat to inhibit or avoid damage to the electronic controller, wherein the material and the lid are operatively associated to completely surround the controller. These modules are particularly suitable for use in automotive applications.
