Abstract
A galley insert control module for an aircraft galley insert includes an electronics module for controlling an aircraft galley appliance and a magnesium alloy housing for the electronics module. The magnesium alloy housing may be arranged around the electronics module to form part of a physical barrier around the electronics module without physically supporting the electronics module. This can form a physical barrier which provides physical protection and protection from dust and moisture for the electronics module. In one example, the magnesium alloy housing physically supports the electronics module. This can provide structural integrity to the electronics module.
