Designing Electronic Enclosures: A Balancing Act

From ELMA Electronic Inc.
 

 
Like the performer in a high wire act, balance is an important element of success in electronic enclosure packaging. The more the performer stacks on his shoulders, his balancing staff, or his arms, the more he needs to make critical shifts in other areas to maintain his equilibrium. Its similar in packaging design particularly when space is at a premium. A modification in one area can require changes in another to balance out the optimal design.
