ABSTRACT:
A Power Distribution Center (PDC) for a motor vehicle distributes power through relays and fuses to connectors for distribution of power throughout the motor vehicle. The PDC includes a housing/connector plate, a printed circuit board, a leadframe assembly, an insulator, a B+ buss bar, an alignment plate and a cover. The PDC utilizes the B+ Buss bar assembly for receiving power into the PDC. The leadframe assembly is utilized to distribute power within the PDC to particular circuits. The printed circuit board is employed to distribute power and signals within the PDC. Terminal clips are used to interconnect between the PDC and associated relays and fuses. The PDC is configured to allow simple addition of electronic modules by providing an interface as part of the PDC, thereby allowing modules to be added to the network without requiring a separate wiring harness for each module.
