[Diy_efi] Since its so quiet and we exist a bit longer, sample of SMT on fuse holder

[Mike]

Hi chaps,

Since its so quiet and we have been congratulated on supporting the site
for a bit longer despite fact we are unclear about the nature of our existence,
I thought I might see what you think about this and what it can be extrapolated
to in terms of packaging electronics for efi and related vehicle technologies,

Here shown is a vertical support for the side of a new third party fuse holder for
the GMC/GMH range of VK to VR Commodore models (as sold in Australia)
and shows some Surface Mount Technology (SMT) for a auto power off
timer, pushbutton and related connector to drive some bright white engine
bay illumination LEDs which are rated at 13,000 mCd.  Its hoped that some
project car builders and renovators might consider this as a engine fuse
control option, bit early as documentation pack still in compilation phase but,
I think you get the general idea:-

Suffice it to say such 3d circuit board approach could fairly easily be
extended to many other non 2d electronic products closely integrating
the enclosure and structural members with a surface that can support
various SMT circuitry, comments/observations   ?
