Differential carrier electronics package
First Claim
1. A differential carrier electronics package comprising:
- a package housing comprising an upper portion having thermally conductive properties and a lower portion having thermally insulating properties, the upper and lower portions being sealed together;
wherein separately, the upper portion and lower portion being in direct thermal contact with an environment external to a differential carrier housing and the lower portion separately extended through an opening in the differential carrier housing and in thermal contact with a fluid within the differential carrier housing; and
wherein no part of the upper portion is in contact with the fluid.

Abstract
A differential carrier electronic package has a package housing that is made of upper and lower portions that are sealed together, where the upper portion has high thermal conductive properties and the lower portion has low thermal conductive properties. The upper and lower portions are in thermal contact with an environment that is external to a differential carrier housing. The lower portion extends through an opening in the differential housing, thereby further being in thermal contact with a fluid within the differential housing. The package housing further has an electronic circuit that is attached to and in thermal conduction with the upper portion, within the package housing. The lower portion may have a connector portion formed in it for electrically connecting between external electrical devices and sources, the electronic circuit, and control devices within the differential housing.
