Description Technical Specs Extended Information
 

The uSDC or Micro-Shut-Down-Controller is an electronically
controlled automotive power switching device. It is primarily designed
for the purpose of starting up or shutting down a personal computer
used in a motor vehicle. It interfaces with a computer motherboard’s
power switch header that would normally connect to the push-button
switch on the front of a personal computer case. The uSDC includes a
high current relay that will cut off or apply all power to the power
supply of the personal computer to prevent any substantial current draw
when the computer is not in use. The uSDC also provides a timing
mechanism that is user selectable allowing the computer to remain “on”
for an amount of time after the ignition has been turned off. The uSDC
allows the user to mount the personal computer in remote locations
(such as a trunk) and provides hands off method automating the startup
and shutdown sequence while constantly monitoring the environmental
conditions.

    Absolutely Horrible - Buyer Beware April 18, 2008
    Reviewer: James Perkosky from Charlotte, NC United States  
    This device was the cause for a 2.5 day  project delay due to troubleshooting random crackling and popping noises being entered into the vehicle's audio system. Issue was intermittent, no pattern whatsoever. This board would randomly send a surge down the ACPI line, which would cause the cracks and pops, and eventually cause the PC to randomly shut down. (There was enough energy built up to jump the pin gap on the MB between the + and ground sides of the power switch)
    Not happy at all with this device, and ended up replacing with a device from CarNetix. No problems since. This will definitely be returned.
