Project Description
Overview
This customer needed a highly visible, low cost indicator display that worked in conjunction with a fuel level sender to warn operators of a low fuel level. It needed to integrate with the fuel level sender and snap into an existing rocker switch cutout. The customer’s production line assembly required easy installation including a sealed connector header on the display, all for minimal cost.
Challenges
- LED output had to be daylight visible in both green and amber
- Ruggedized construction for outdoor, commercial lawn & garden use
- Keyed IP67 connector header for multiple variants
- Control circuitry for fuel level sender had to be incorporated
Services Performed
- Electrical/hardware design
- Mechanical design
- 3 variants differentiated by keyed connector and housing
Results
- Simple, compact, low cost LED display
- Able to create multiple variants in a configurable design
- Snap-in fit and snap-in connector to minimize assembly labor
