The present invention relates to a method of encapsulating a plurality of chip and board pre-assemblies. Each pre-assembly has first and second surfaces. The method includes positioning a first mold half in a sealing relationship with each first surface of the pre-assemblies and positioning a second mold half adjacent each second surface of the pre-assemblies. The first mold half is filled first thereby forcing each second surface of the pre-assemblies into a sealing engagement with the second mold half. The second molding section is then filled, to result in an asymmetrically overmolded chip and board assembly.
