This book explains the design and fabrication of any electronic enclosure that contains a printed circuit board, from original design through materials selection, building and testing, and ongoing design improvement. It presents a thorough and lucid treatment of material physical properties, engineering, and compliance considerations such that readers will understand concerns that exist with a design (structural, environmental, and regulatory) and what is needed to successfully enter the marketplace. To this end, a main thrust of this volume is on the “commercialization” of electronic products when an enclosure is needed. The book targets the broadest audience tasked with design and manufacture of an enclosure for an electronic product, from mechanical/industrial engineers to designers and technicians. Compiling a wealth of information on relevant physical phenomena (strength of materials, shock and vibration, heat transfer), the book stands as a ready reference on how and where these key properties may be considered in the design of most electronic enclosures.

When designing electronic circuits, creating a product that meets the needs of the consumer and conforms to the requirements of production are essential parts of the electronic engineer's range of skills. Undergraduate students must acquire these skills through project work, and they require a textbook that provides the basic approaches and techniques needed for these design projects. Electronic Product Design supplies a complete practical treatment of this core subject by integrating several aspects of product development that are usually found in separate texts. It examines design goals, approaches for system design, costs of product development, designing for reliability, and quality analysis. The authors convey the principles by using examples of common electronic products, providing summaries of key concepts, and concluding with review problems. Covering the topic from the perspective of the electronic designer, the text clearly explains how electronic functionality is implemented in a broad range of products. It is a valuable resource for undergraduate students involved in electronic engineering and product development.

Analyzes all phases of the electronic product design process, including management, planning, quality control, design, manufacturing, and automation. A reference/textbook for students and professionals in such fields as electronics, manufacturing, circuit design, computer science. Annotation copyrig

This textbook covers the design of electronic systems from the ground up, from drawing and CAD essentials to recycling requirements. Chapter by chapter, it deals with the challenges any modern system designer faces: The design process and its fundamentals, such as technical drawings and CAD, electronic system levels, assembly and packaging issues and appliance protection classes, reliability analysis, thermal management and cooling, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), all the way to recycling requirements and environmental-friendly design principles. "This unique book provides fundamental, complete, and indispensable information regarding the design of electronic systems. This topic has not been addressed as complete and thorough anywhere before. Since the authors are world-renown experts, it is a foundational reference for today’s design professionals, as well as for the next generation of engineering students."
