Many pitfalls of the fast-paced product introduction environment for industrial and consumer products are discussed to help minimize the number of electronic control fires and other menacing events of today. The author clearly links the design, manufacturing and forensic technical communities in the development of electronic control devices, which include a wide array of products, from auto key fobs to furnace electronic control boards. The information included ensures a final product that will not end up in litigation (or at least not be found guilty during litigation), putting into plain words how to determine if a suspect electronic appliance control is the cause of a fire or the result of a fire. Containing invaluable data learned through many years of new product designs, development and production cycles, this brief features illustrated bench experiments conducted by the author. Professionals and researchers working in fire protection, electrical engineering, or building safety will find this brief an essential resource. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Fire,$x2193-6595 606 $aFire prevention 606 $aForensic sciences 606 $aElectronic circuits 606 $aFire Science, Hazard Control, Building Safety$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23130 606 $aForensic Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B23000 606 $aElectronic Circuits and Devices$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31010 615 0$aFire prevention. 615 0$aForensic sciences. 615 0$aElectronic circuits. 615 14$aFire Science, Hazard Control, Building Safety. 615 24$aForensic Science. 615 24$aElectronic Circuits and Devices. 676 $a363.379 700 $aSmall$b James E$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01064022 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910164157103321 996 $aElectronic Control Fires$92535917 997 $aUNINA
