Factory-Floor Realities
Industrial boards often combine dense SMT logic with through-hole terminal blocks and relays. Selective solder planning and connector orientation matter as much as digital layout.
Lifecycle is long - call out preferred brands and last-time-buy risks on the BOM.
Environment & Electrical Constraints
- Cabinet heat, vibration from machinery, and electrical transients are typical.
- Conformal coat may be required for dusty or humid plants.
- Isolation barriers and creepage/clearance are design responsibilities - share if they affect slotting keep-outs.
