OK, a caveat. This circuit has not been tested in a high electrical noise, vehicular environment. SCRs can be triggered on by noise spikes in an electrical system.
Hi Ken,
Understood.
I'm OK with it because it is not an integral part of any circuit on board. If an SCR or OI fails in any way, the fuse condition LED indicators still function as they have a hard wire path that will not be interrupted. If I get nuisance trips of the blinking LED with no corresponding blown fuse indication, I'll just ignore it and I may put a defeat switch into the circuit for that eventuality.
Re Aerolectric Connection warranty, I like that too. I've seen others by people offering parts etc for aircraft, that state flat out that using their part "will probably kill you".
I like the Homebuilt Aircraft community and ones like AllAboutCircuits because people generally take responsibility for themselves and enjoy learning new stuff. No one trying to hang a leaky hat on me.
