Well...technically that one's not printed (though they are still commonly called FPC or flexible PCB)...and calling it a foil is a usage I've only encountered on this list. Properly the entire thing is a flexible circuit or flex PC or what-have-you. The foil is the copper material laminated inside that makes up the actual circuit -- a raw material if you will. Coming from an electronics rather than a strictly Vanagon background, my reaction was the same as Mike's -- "great...which one?" -- though thinking more slowly, I suppose there's only one in a Vanagon that has its own part number. The rest are all enclosed in something else that has a P/N. Cheers, -- David Beierl - Providence RI USA -- http://pws.prserv.net/synergy/Vanagon/ '89 Po' White Star "Scamp"
