Power Module

The transistorized power module is mounted on top of the evaporator-blower assembly. It receives signals from the programmer to cycle the A/C clutch and amplifies the signals to provide variable blower speeds. A heat sink protrudes into air flew in evaporator case and prevents module from overheating.
