All COTS Items have to be mounted in some fashion. Per R22, only if you modify it does it become a Fabricated Item.
Per R11 and P12, the electronics subsystem as a whole is a Mechanism, i.e. a custom assembly of Components. The electronics mounting board is perhaps a fabricated part, as are most of the wires, but most of the other Components are COTS.
IMHO and I could be wrong, of course.
