An instrument panel of an automotive vehicle has an original circuit board
(10). An LED (16) is disposed on a bridge (34) in the board and faces a
driver of the vehicle. Two terminals (16T1, 16T2) extend through the
bridge to conductive continuity with respective conductive traces (24, 26)
on the rear board face 12. Should the LED fail, it is replaced by severing
the bridge from the board and removing it along with the LED on it. The
severing creates a through-hole (36) in the board. A socket (40) that
contains a replacement LED (16R) is installed in the through-hole and
provides conductive continuity of the respective traces on the board with
respective terminals of the replacement LED.
Un tablero de instrumentos de un vehículo automotor tiene un tablero de circuito original (10). Un LED (16) se dispone en un puente (34) en el tablero y hace frente a un conductor del vehículo. Dos terminales (16T1, 16T2) extienden a través del puente a la continuidad conductora con los rastros conductores respectivos (24, 26) en la cara posterior 12 del tablero. Si el LED falla, es substituido separando el puente del tablero y quitándolo junto con el LED en él. La separación crea un por-agujero (36) en el tablero. Un zócalo (40) que contiene un reemplazo LED (16R) está instalado en el por-agujero y proporciona la continuidad conductora de los rastros respectivos en el tablero de los terminales respectivos del reemplazo LED.
