I am working on a consumer product that will be used by people=20
generally a bit more technically oriented than your average person.

It dissipates a fair amount of power at times and so it can generate a=20
fair amount of heat.

It will be used in a residential, indoors environment......on a table or=20
a bench.

My question is this: What is a reasonable/acceptable upper limit for=20
maximum exterior surface temperature given these circumstances?

Is there an accepted specification(s) for something like this?

I am thinking maybe 60 deg C........?
