Aptiv Multiple Application Electrical Centers (MAPECs) is a modular electrical center that centralizes the energy distribution system into one location and reduces the need for fuses, relays, and electronic modules. These electrical centers feature advanced thermal dissipation through PCB design with flexible power switching capabilities and circuit protection. The MAPECs come with solid-state protection, optimized EMI, and inrush current control. Typically used in passenger and commercial vehicle electrical/electronic systems.
