Heatsink and Mount

Picolo U4 H.264 PCI-104 is delivered with a mounted standard heatsink. Picolo U4 H.264 PCI-104 RH is delivered without heatsink, which allows users to mount a custom heatsink.

Standard Mounted Heatsink

Heatsink

The standard heatsink is a high-efficiency round-pin design constructed with black anodized aluminum.

The heatsink height is 5.8 mm (0.23 inches). This standard mounted heatsink is designed to fit with the available space between adjacent modules.

Heatsink mount

Custom Heatsink Mount

As the standard mounted heatsink, the custom heatsink chosen to be placed on the board has to be efficiently and securely mounted on the PCB with spring-loaded push pins.

Thermally conductive elastic gap filler must be inserted between module components requiring cooling and the heatsink. The gap filler is compressed adequately to establish a good thermal conduction for all involved components.
