Electronics Packaging Design

Electronics packaging is the work of fitting circuit boards, batteries, connectors, cables, displays, and antennas into a product so they stay protected, cool, and connected for the life of the product. It is where mechanical and electrical design meet, and where many hardware programs run into late conflicts. SGW designs the internal architecture of electronic products. We define board outlines and stacking, mounting and support, connector placement, cable and wire routing, heat paths, and service access, sharing 3D models between our mechanical and electrical engineers as the layout evolves. Our packaging work includes Cradlepoint's 5G vehicle router, where a unique housing shape required a customized PCB, clever wire routing, and a single casing for the modem, antennas, and router. For Preco, we solved assembly and tolerance stack-up for two PCBAs and their connectors sandwiched between housing components.
