It would be nice if we could assume that when designing hardware, but it isn't realistic. Even for a benign laboratory environment, we normally assume 40 degrees max ambient, which means the air and all surfaces surrounding the case. Industrial electronics are often designed for 50 degrees ambient with the case interior being 15 degrees higher. -- Seth Goodman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
