Abstract
The packaging of the electronic equipment into an appropriate enclosure can vary from the selection of a basic off-the-shelf product to the design of a fully customized unit, Table 8.1. The high cost of designing, tooling, and fabricating these enclosures can be dramatically reduced, or even eliminated, by taking advantage of the expertise of the enclosure manufacturer. These firms offer products ranging from the outside enclosure to complete packaging systems that permit the customer to simply plug in printed board assemblies to create the basic product.
