RDK X5 Metal Heatsink Case

The RDK X5 CASE is a full-metal enclosure engineered specifically for the RDK X5 AI Board. It functions as a durable protective shell and a passive heatsink, safeguarding the delicate internal components while ensuring optimal thermal performance. Key features include robust all-metal construction, efficient heat dissipation via direct contact with a thermal pad, and a precision-engineered design that maintains port access and calibrated mounting angles. This accessory is ideal for applications in robotics, electronics competitions, and any deployment where physical protection and stable operation are critical.

Robust Full-Metal Protection

The enclosure is constructed from a single piece of metal, providing comprehensive protection for the RDK X5 board against impacts, dust, and accidental contact. Its rigid structure prevents board flex and protects sensitive components from physical damage in demanding environments. The design is secured with four screws, ensuring a tight and reliable assembly that is simple to install and remove when needed.

Efficient Passive Cooling

Engineered to function as a large heatsink, the case significantly improves the thermal management of the RDK X5. An included thermal silicone pad creates a direct conduction path between the main processor and the metal chassis, effectively drawing heat away and dissipating it into the surrounding air. This passive cooling system helps prevent thermal throttling, allowing the AI board to sustain peak performance during prolonged, computationally intensive tasks.

Precision Design for Stable Operation

Every aspect of the case is precisely manufactured to enhance usability. The cutouts for all ports and the antenna are accurately placed, allowing for plug-and-play functionality without compromising signal integrity. A standout feature is the graduated hinge on the mount, designed to preserve calibrated angles. This prevents misalignment during transport or setup adjustments, a crucial advantage for applications like competitive robotics where consistent physical configuration is essential for repeatable performance.
