Electrical device for operating in a motor vehicle's center console has a casing, an electronics module, a printed circuit board and a step motor to drive a pointer over a dial face with a scale

摘要

A printed circuit board (PSB) (40) supports electrical components (41,41',41'') to operate other components like a display screen. A step motor (42) uses a pointer axle (43) to drive a pointer (24) over a dial face (45) with a scale. Sources (46) of light like LEDs fit on the PSB to light up the display e.g. at night. A display screen/LCD links to the PSB via a flexible foil conductor (47). An Independent claim is also included for an electronics module for use in an electrical device.
