ABSTRACT:
An electrical distribution system in which power distribution and signal distribution functions for a motor vehicle are combined within a single casing, which can be assembled before installation in the vehicle. The casing houses a power distribution board, a signal distribution board, and at least two cards (a switch card and a control card) electrically coupled between the power and signal distribution boards. The power distribution board includes a pair of connectors aligned with suitable openings in the casing for electrically coupling to the battery and electrical loads, and the signal distribution board includes a connector aligned with a suitable opening in the casing for electrically coupling to remote circuits which send and receive electrical signals. The control card carries control circuitry, and the switch card carries switches that are electrically activated by the control circuitry of the control card to the battery to selected electrical loads. The switch card is coupled to the power distribution board through electrical fuses, and the control card is coupled to the power distribution board through switching devices activated by the control card.
