SYS-405Q-TCA7/System Overview System Overview The WinSystems SYS-405Q-TCA7 is a Single Board Computer (SBC) enclosed in a custom anodized aluminum enclosure. The SYS-405Q-TCA7 is a rugged, industrial system, capable of operating at extended temperatures without requiring a fan or heat-pipe. See “Introduction” on page 6.
(SFF) Single Board Computer (SBC) capable of operating at high temperatures without a fan or heat-pipe. The processor for the unit is an Intel® Atom® x6425RE, integrated into the SYS-405Q-TCA7 using a Type 6 COM Express module. The low-profile thermal solution provides a rugged platform base that protects the PCB assembly and offers convenient four-point mounting.
