Abstract
A vehicle electric power distribution apparatus is described which includes multiple stacked conductive layers. Electrically insulating material insulates portions of the conductive layers and conductive pins provide electrical contact between selected contact pads of different layers. At least some of the layers include contacts providing access to one or more external connectors. The apparatus is enclosed in a housing configured with multiple ventilation and mounting options and are further configured to retain connector housings between a top and bottom for the contacts described above. The housing further includes a cover hingedly connected to the top to form either a splash proof seal or ventilation.
