Russel Irvine, with his expertise from Hammond Electronics, will probably cover a lot of the technical considerations, like:

1. Sizing and Mounting: Ensuring the enclosure has enough space for components and allows for secure mounting.
2. Ventilation and Cooling: If the project involves heat-sensitive components, he might talk about options for heat dissipation, such as vents or passive cooling.
3. EMI Shielding: For sensitive electronics, ensuring proper shielding to avoid electromagnetic interference might be emphasized.
4. Access and Modifications: Tips on how to make the enclosure accessible for wiring or future upgrades.
5. Compliance and Standards: If the project needs to meet specific regulatory standards (IP ratings, UL certifications, etc.).

It would be a great opportunity to pick up tips about how to avoid common mistakes when selecting or designing an enclosure too. Are you working on a specific project where you’re considering enclosures right now?
