Abstract
A instrumentation system is disclosed for providing improved reliability when used in a vehicle. The vehicle instrumentation system includes a plurality electronic component units and a reference portion which functions as a platform. The electronic component units have connecting portions, while the reference portion has mounting portions that have a plug-in structure. The electronic component units are mounted to the reference portion via the mounting portions. The vehicle instrumentation system receives current through the connecting portion of one of the electronic component units and through the connector of the reference portion. Current through the reference portion is prevented from introducing noise through the connecting portions of the electronic component units because it passes directly from the vehicle battery through a fuse box.
