Accton continuously seeks to improve mechanical design elements in product development. The main focus is always to ensure product reliability, but efforts to shorten development cycles and reduce costs also play an important part.

Before any PCB layout is undertaken, a cross-functional team decides on a balanced structure with a focus on device location, trace location, BGA and PCB contact force, and durability during the SMT process and shipping.

Software tools are used for tolerance analysis to enhance accuracy and save time during the design stage.

To find optimum package designs, Accton uses extensive software analysis and simulation before any package testing. The goal is to pass the package drop, vibration, and shock tests with the very first prototype.
