Abstract

A housing has a housing portion with a main portion and a retainer extending from the main portion. The retainer may cooperate with a first printed circuit board element to hold the first printed circuit board element in spaced relation to the main portion and hold a second printed circuit board element in spaced relation to the first printed circuit board element. The housing may have first and second housing portions that cooperate to form an enclosure for supporting a printer circuit board. A support element extends from the first housing portion. The retainer cooperates with the first printed circuit board element to pull the first printed circuit board element toward the support element, which supports the first printed circuit board element in spaced relation to the first housing portion. The retainer also holds a second printed circuit board element in spaced relation to the first printed circuit board element. The housing may be used in a control module.
