Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 IO Case with DC Brushless Fan

Raspberry Pi IO Case is a durable metal enclosure designed for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 platforms, providing a protective and expansion‑ready housing for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 and its official IO Board. The two‑piece sheet‑metal structure accommodates common development accessories such as M.2 SSD storage or a PoE+ HAT+, while maintaining a compact embedded form factor. Precision cut‑outs and dedicated internal mounting space enable reliable integration of high‑performance computing modules in industrial prototypes, edge AI gateways, and advanced embedded systems where cooling, durability, and accessibility are essential.

Robust Metal Enclosure for Compute Module Development

This sheet‑metal housing provides structural protection and mechanical stability for Compute Module 5 deployments. The two‑piece enclosure design simplifies assembly while offering adequate internal clearance for IO Board accessories including M.2 SSD expansion and PoE+ HAT+ modules. Such mechanical reliability supports embedded computing environments, industrial prototyping setups, and edge‑computing systems requiring a durable enclosure that protects delicate electronics while maintaining compatibility with official compute module hardware.

Integrated Active Cooling for High‑Performance Workloads

An integrated DC brushless fan delivers active airflow to stabilize temperatures during demanding processing tasks. Pulse‑width modulation control and tachometer feedback enable controlled fan operation through the carrier board’s four‑pin header. This thermal management solution supports compute‑intensive workloads such as AI inference, media processing, or edge analytics by maintaining stable operating temperatures inside the enclosure while keeping acoustic noise relatively low.

Full Peripheral Access with Camera and Display Support

Strategically designed openings provide direct access to HDMI, Ethernet, USB‑A, USB‑C power input, and the microSD card slot, enabling convenient connectivity during development and deployment. Dedicated slots allow ribbon cable routing for CSI‑2 camera modules and DSI displays, enabling vision systems, human‑machine interfaces, and multimedia applications. An additional mounting hole supports external wireless antennas, improving connectivity flexibility for networked embedded platforms.
