Single Board Computers (SBCs)

A single board computer (SBC) carries the processor, memory, and I/O of a complete computer on one board, and we supply industrial SBCs in 2.5-inch Pico-ITX, 3.5-inch, and PC/104 formats. Unlike a computer-on-module, an SBC needs no carrier board, so it suits a compact design that needs a finished computer. The choice usually comes down to the processor (x86 or ARM) and its performance, the display and I/O interfaces, the operating temperature (many boards run from 0 to +60°C, extended-range boards from -40 to +85°C), and how heat leaves the enclosure. Our SBCs are long-term available and generally suited to 24/7 operation. We are manufacturer-independent, so we recommend the board that fits, and we can deliver it as a kit with display, touch, cables, and a preinstalled image.

How to choose

• 2.5-inch Pico-ITX: the smallest format, for space-constrained devices.
• 3.5-inch: more interfaces and processor headroom, from low-power to high-performance processors.
• PC/104: CPU modules for stacked designs.
• Display and I/O: LVDS and eDP drive a panel directly; serial RS232/422/485, CAN, M.2, and TPM 2.0 are on many boards.
• Cooling and protection: a heatspreader conducts heat into the housing for fanless designs, and many boards are available with a protective coating.

• Board with defined memory
• Perfect video firmware
• Complete cable sets including TFT cable
• Touch integration
• Hard Disk Drive or CompactFlash with pre-installed images including your application
