摘要： A lightweight radio/CD player for vehicular application is virtually “fastenerless” and includes a case and frontal interface formed of polymer based material that is molded to provide details to accept audio devices such as playback mechanisms (if desired) and radio receivers, as well as the circuit boards required for electrical control and display. The case and frontal interface are of composite structure, including an insert molded electrically conductive wire mesh screen that has been pre-formed to contour with the molding operation. The wire mesh provides EMC, RFI, BCI and ESD shielding and grounding of the circuit boards via exposed wire mesh pads and adjacent ground clips. The PCB architecture is bifurcated into a first board carrying common circuit components in a surface mount configuration suitable for high volume production, and a second board carrying application specific circuit components in a wave soldered stick mount configuration. The major components and subassemblies are self-fixturing during the final assembly process, eliminating the need for dedicated tools, fixtures and assembly equipment. The major components and subassemblies self-interconnect by integral guide and connection features effecting “slide lock” and “snap lock” self-interconnection. The radio architecture includes improved push buttons employing 4-bar living hinge linkage and front loaded decorative trim buttons.

摘要： A housing for a vehicle audio system includes a trim panel assembly and a box-like case forming a partially closed cavity. The trim panel assembly includes a decorative molded plastic face plate carrying vehicle occupant accessible controls and displays, and a printed circuit board disposed in a spaced relationship behind said face plate. An audio device and a radio frequency communication device are mounted within the housing. The communication device has a generally “L” or “T” shaped antenna formed of electrically conductive plastic material having a thermal expansion characteristic substantially equal to that of said decorative face plate. The antenna includes an elongated element insert molded within the face plate and a feed portion which extends rearwardly from said element to mechanically and electrically engage the printed circuit board. The feed portion self-engages a PCB via for retention in a fixed, spaced relationship with the decorative face plate.
