Proof of Design (POD)
The DFM/CE Book for Printed Circuit Boards, Assemblies and All Manner of Other Things Technical
- by Earl Moon

• Though this E-book focuses mostly on electronics, with printed circuitry at its core, all the principles apply to all applications whether telecommunications, automotive, medical, military, aerospace, or whatever product demanding quality and reliability.


• This book is designed to be used any way one sees fit. if you need to use any information herein – simply copy and paste it into your documents or processes.

Earl Moon (The MoonMan) is a professional mechanical engineer with a long history dedicated to the pcb and associated electronics industry. With a very extensive education and knowledge in design, process development, new product development, and manufacturing support, he has hands on experience concerning every phase of pcb fabrication and assembly. He has worked directly and consulted with some of the largest companies in the USA. He has over thirty years experience in the electronics industry in aerospace, military, and commercial environments. The MoonMan has worked and consulted in areas from designing very complex and high density interconnect systems to ensuring their acceptance by customers world-wide. He is deeply involved in multilayer printed circuitry and high reliability SMT assemblies. The MoonMan has written and lectured on every facet of the electronics packaging industry. He is one of the most outspoken advocates of design for manufacturing (DFM), and all it encompasses as design for test and cost, etc. As such he recognizes and teaches that DFM is not possible without concurrent engineering (CE). To this end, he has written this eBook.
