A module (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 900) may be electrically connected
to a PCB (18, 918) residing in a device (14) or may be joined to the
device (14) to form a portion of the housing (16, 916) of the device
(14). The module may include a housing (102, 202, 302, 402, 502, 602)
having at least one layer, a surface mountable component, such as a
surface mountable acoustic transducer (110, 210, 310, 410, 510, 610, 910)
having a connecting surface (114, 214, 314, 414, 514, 614, 914), and at
least one acoustic port (124, 224, 324, 424, 524, 624, 924) to couple a
surface of the surface mountable acoustic transducer to the exterior of
the device (14). The module (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 900) may
further include a secondary mounting structure (654) electrically
connected to the connecting surface (114, 214, 314, 414, 514, 614, 914)
of the surface mountable acoustic transducer (110, 210, 310, 410, 510,
610, 910). The acoustic port (124, 224, 324, 424, 524, 624, 924) may
include a layer of an environmental barrier (450, 550).
