Important definitions
Packaging is broadly classified into five different levels. Level 1 packaging individual components like IC Chips Level 2- packaging any components on a module substrate / circuit board. Level 3 board to board inter connect structures Ex. Daughter board to mother board Level 4- packaging one or many boards in a individual chassis or enclosure Level 5- packaging many chassis or enclosure to form a large system.
are used together with closed proximity they may fail to perform due to electrical noise or cross talk. Electro mechanical packaging is a technology which will deal with design of the layout, housing or enclosure which will be built into the product itself and provides a safer environment for better functioning of the product and also provides user friendly user interface.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
Electromechanical packaging is always viewed as a design to support the functionality of a system or product. Packaging problems like thermal failures, electromechanical interference are tried to be dealt by selecting more robust components during the design, which will certainly solve the problem but forcing to compromise on the cost. Design approach to empower the packaging technology will solve the problems as well help in reducing the development cost. Even when the cost is not a decisive factor effective electromechanical packaging will give a better structural support and user interface with giving higher importance to safety.
Packaging defined:Any electronic product will contain numerous electrical circuit components. These components can be transistors, capacitors, power supplies, circuit breakers, switches etc. These components are inter connected to get the required functionality to form circuits. Many such circuits should be used to build a functional product. Mechanical support is required to protect the circuits and also to provide a operating environment considering the safety and also proper user interface. Any product to work, it must be supplied with electrical energy which after consumption will produce heat. Since circuits work best within specific temperature range, excess heat should be dissipated and also when many electrical products 1
