Abstract
A circuit board assembly includes a primary circuit board extending in a first plane and configured to control electrical distribution and a secondary circuit board extending in a second plane, different from the first plane, with the primary and secondary circuit boards spaced from and substantially parallel with one another, and with the secondary circuit board abutting the primary circuit board such that the primary and secondary circuit boards are electrically coupled to one another. The circuit board assembly further includes at least one sensor disposed on the secondary circuit board and electrically coupled to the secondary circuit board such that the at least one sensor is electrically coupled to the primary circuit board through the secondary circuit board, with the secondary circuit board positioning the at least one sensor in proximity with the at least one magnet for detecting the position of the at least one magnet.
