Vehicle accessory control arrangement

摘要

An illustrative inventory of vehicle accessory control components includes a plurality of first circuit boards and a plurality of second circuit boards. The first circuit boards each have a substrate with a plurality of circuit elements supported on the substrate. The first circuit board substrates have an overall perimeter shape including an outer edge profile and a plurality of first deviations from the outer edge profile. The second circuit boards each have a substrate with a plurality of circuit elements supported on them. The second circuit board substrates have the overall perimeter shape including the same outer edge profile as the first circuit board substrates. The second circuit board substrates include a plurality of second deviations from the outer edge profile. At least one portion of the second deviations is different than the first deviations of the first circuit boards.

1. An inventory of vehicle accessory control components, comprising:
a substrate having an overall perimeter shape including a first circuit board substrate and a second circuit board substrate; a plurality of first circuit boards that each have the first circuit board substrate with a plurality of circuit elements supported on the first circuity board substrate, the first circuit board substrate including an outer edge profile and a plurality of first deviations from the outer edge profile; a plurality of second circuit boards that each have the second circuit board substrate with a plurality of circuit elements supported on the second circuit board substrate, the second circuit board substrate including the outer edge profile and a plurality of second deviations from the outer edge profile, at least one portion of the second deviations being different than the first deviations; wherein each first circuit board substrate and each second circuit board substrate are arranged in a plane and selectively movable relative to each other to form the overall perimeter shape of the substrate; and wherein the outer edge profile is configured to facilitate one of the first and second circuit boards being received in a housing having a correspondingly shaped perimeter that generally conforms to the outer edge profile; the first deviations are configured to cooperate with first features on a housing to allow one of the first circuit boards to be received into a housing having the first features but not to be received into another housing that does not have the first features; and the second deviations are configured to cooperate with second features on a housing to allow one of the second circuit boards to be received into a housing having the second features but not to be received into another housing that does not have the second features.
