RDK X5 Metal Heatsink Case

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.
