Built specifically for the RDK X5 AI Board, this full-metal enclosure provides a tough protective shell while also acting as a passive heatsink. It helps protect the board from impacts, dust and accidental contact, while drawing heat away from the main processor through the included thermal silicone pad.
The case is precision-made with cutouts for the board’s ports and antenna, so you can keep access to the connections you need after installation. Its rigid construction helps prevent board flex, and the four-screw assembly is designed to be straightforward to install and remove.
A graduated hinge on the mount helps preserve calibrated angles, making this case well suited to robotics, electronics competitions and other setups where the physical position of the AI board needs to stay consistent. Supplied contents are RDK X5 CASE ×1, M2.5*10 cross head screws ×5 and Thermal silicone pad ×1.
Features:
- Robust full-metal protection: Constructed from a single piece of metal to protect the RDK X5 board against impacts, dust and accidental contact.
- Rigid structure: Helps prevent board flex and protects sensitive components from physical damage in demanding environments.
- Four-screw assembly: Secured with four screws for a tight and reliable assembly that is simple to install and remove when needed.
- Efficient passive cooling: Functions as a large heatsink to improve thermal management of the RDK X5.
- Thermal silicone pad: Creates a direct conduction path between the main processor and the metal chassis.
- Thermal throttling support: Helps prevent thermal throttling during prolonged, computationally intensive tasks.
- Precision port access: Accurately placed cutouts for all ports and the antenna allow plug-and-play functionality without compromising signal integrity.
- Graduated hinge: Designed to preserve calibrated angles and prevent misalignment during transport or setup adjustments.
Specifications:
- Material: Metal
- Dimensions: 85×56×17mm
- Weight: 78g
- Color: Matte Black
- Compatibility: RDK X5 AI Board (4GB, 10Tops)
- Compatibility: RDK X5 AI Board (8GB, 10Tops)
- Designated Use: For exclusive use with the RDK X5 board.
- Ventilation: Ensure operation in a well-ventilated area. Do not cover the case or obstruct airflow.
- Electrical Safety: Keep away from liquids, moisture, and conductive surfaces to prevent short circuits.
- Operating Temperature: Use under normal ambient conditions and avoid external heat sources.
- Caution - Hot Surface: The case is a functional heatsink and will become hot during operation. Do not touch while powered on to prevent potential burns.
Use this enclosure where the RDK X5 needs both mechanical protection and passive cooling, such as robotics platforms, competition builds and longer-running AI workloads.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- M2.5
- A metric screw thread size with a 2.5 mm nominal diameter. It matters for mounting because screws, standoffs, and holes must use the same size to fit securely without damaging the board.
- passive heatsink
- A heatsink is a piece of metal shaped to draw heat away from a hot component, and passive means it works without a fan. This matters because it can keep a processor cooler and quieter, but the case itself may become hot during use.
- thermal throttling
- Thermal throttling is when a processor automatically slows down because it is getting too hot. A case designed to reduce throttling can help a small computer maintain performance during heavier tasks.
