Abstract
A fuse and relay block assembly () for an automotive vehicle includes a lower cover () and an upper cover () mounted in substantially opposed relationship to one another. A relay block () is mounted between the lower cover () and the upper cover () and can receive electrical devices (R, F) mounted along a mounting direction (MD). A relay module assembly () is mounted between the lower cover () and the upper cover () and can receive electrical devices (R, F) mounted along a transverse direction (TD) substantially perpendicular to the mounting direction (MD). Thus, a greater density of electrical devices (R, F) can be mounted within a smaller footprint.
