2.3.2.3 Another Thermal Solution - Heat Spreader
MIO-2262 has an optional heat spreader to make the entire system more compact.
Using a heat spreader to conduct heat to your chassis can help a lot when system is
extra compact or there is limited space for heat convection. Here are some guide-
lines for the heat spreader:
1. For best heat conduction, the gap between chassis and heat spreader should
be smaller, the smaller the better.
2. The height of existing heat spreader is 11.2mm (Advantech P/N:
1960055791T001). If you need some other height to fit chassis better, Advan-
tech can customize it for you. (Please contact our sales team for details)
3. There are thermal grease and screws in the heat spreader kit. Thermal grease
helps conduct better if chassis is quite close to heat spreader. Another sugges-
tion is to use a thermal pad if the chassis isn't close enough to the heat
spreader. (The gap is suggested to be less than 3mm for better heat conduc-
tion)
