Abstract
An electronic system generally includes a flatwire electronic site and a flatwire bus electronically connecting the flatwire electronic site and an electronic device in the engine compartment. The flatwire electronic site has a flexible substrate with electronic components attached to the substrate for operation of the electronic device. The flatwire electronic site is mounted to the engine side of the bulkhead for thermal cooling of the flatwire electronic site. A cover is attached to the bulkhead which encloses a flatwire electronic site for environmental protection.
