Overview: This task aims to create covers and mounts for the electrical team for protection against water ingress and accidental touching.
Communication: #int-elec-integration channel
PCB covers
The electrical components that require covers include:
Center Console
Power Distribution (PD)
Motor Interface
(To be Determined) MPPTs
(To be Determined) Telemetry
.step files of the PCBs:
*Motor Interface
Some rough considerations for each part include:
Heat dissipation for hardware components on PCB
components should also not be in direct contact with the cover
Mounting position in the car
Is there space for your design?
How does your cover mount to the car?
How can the cover be attached/removed for elec to access the components easily
Waterproofing
How extensive should the waterproofing be? Where direction does water come from that needs protection? (We are not looking for IP67 here, but some might need more protection than others)
gaskets? cable glands?
Manufacturing
Probably 3D printed
Weight and dimensions
how big/heavy is your design? What infill are you using when 3D printing?
Of course, not everything above could pertain to your specific part! There might also even be more things to think about depending on which board you are designing around!
Motor Controller Remounting
The Motor Controller requires a more reliable mounting method

Anupam please elaborate I have no idea what it looks like rn tbh
