RDK X5 Metal Heatsink Case

The RDK X5 Metal Heatsink Case is specifically crafted for the RDK X5 AI Board, featuring a sturdy construction from black anodized metal. This case not only protects but also enhances performance by effectively managing heat. During demanding computational tasks, it plays a vital role in maintaining the board's stability by dispersing heat efficiently.

Designed with precision, the case includes cutouts that offer unfettered access to all necessary ports and the antenna connector. This ensures that you can connect and operate with ease, enjoying uninterrupted plug-and-play activity without compromising on protection. With a straightforward four-screw assembly, installing or removing the case becomes a hassle-free task.

The entire metal enclosure acts as a vast passive heatsink, elevating heat dissipation capabilities and averting thermal throttling. This ensures the RDK X5 board operates smoothly without faltering, even under heavy loads. Accompanying the case is a thermal silicone pad, ensuring efficient heat transfer straight from the CPU to the enclosure.

Beyond thermal efficiency, the case offers robust protection against physical threats, dust, and accidental short-circuits, catering to various development and deployment scenarios. Whether in a bustling lab or a quiet office, it shields the RDK X5 from environmental challenges.

Each port, including GPIO, USB, HDMI, and Ethernet, is easily accessible thanks to meticulously crafted openings. Additionally, the dedicated cutout for an antenna upholds strong and consistent wireless connectivity. This thoughtful design ensures that connectivity and functionality are never impeded.

Installation is made easy with the inclusion of four screws, offering a secure and snug fit for the RDK X5 board. This straightforward process simplifies setup, allowing for quick deployment and adjustments when necessary.

Though designed for high efficiency, usage should be within designated guidelines. Operate the case in well-ventilated areas, avoiding any blockage to airflow. Electrical safety is paramount; thus, keep the case dry and distant from conductive surfaces to fend off short circuits. The functional heatsink nature of the case means it will heat up during use, so avoid direct contact to prevent burns.
