Custom System enclosures can be designed to meet space, power, and environmental requirements. Aided by Solidworks® 3D CAD design software, our engineers can help conceptualize, design, build, and fully integrate and test both low and high IP (Ingress Protection Rating) systems. Working from customer requirements and concepts, ADL Embedded Solutions can help refine concepts and develop implementation strategies and quotes to help guide the NRE process.

Many customers are well versed in 3D CAD design for their systems work and simply need CAD modeling support to integrate our boards, enclosures, or peripherals into their system. CAD models for all of our SBCS and select peripherals are available in both Solidworks and STEP 203/214 formats. Other formats might be available on a case by case basis, such as IGES, etc. For SBCs, CAD models can be made available with most of our standard thermal solutions already integrated. Request for CAD models can be made through your Sales Engineer.

ADL Embedded Solutions provides both standard and extended temperature range thermal solutions for all of our SBCs. In addition, ADL Embedded Solutions can provide custom thermal solutions (plates, heatsinks and enclosures) as required by specific customer specifications. Working closely with local milling and metal coating facilities, ADL Embedded Solutions engineers can create all manner thermal solutions including copper-enhancement for high-power SBCs and most metal coatings including TCP, clear and black anodizing, etc. Please contact your Sales Engineer for an NRE quote.

Extended temperature screening is available for all ADL Embedded Solutions SBCs. Please consult your Sales Engineering for a quote. Click here for more details on our temperature screening.

Conformal Coating: Primarily done with Acrylic 1B31 material, with other materials available by special request. Commonly used for high humidity environments.

Bonding: Used for high vibration industrial and military environments for adhering high-mass components to the PCB to prevent component damage or loss during high vibration events.

Underfill: Primarily used for moderate vibration environments such as railway, military ground and air transports, etc. Also highly recommended for extended temperature operation of processors and chipsets with small BGA ball features <1mm or environments with rapid temperature changes.

Ruggedization for extreme military and industrial vibration environments will sometimes require all the usual bonding, underfill, and coatings but perhaps also complete encapsulation with bonding material of selected structures and custom thermal solutions with enhanced structural reinforcement.

Any customer system (board stack with/without custom system enclosure) can be fully integrated including custom O/S installation, peripheral card installation and configuration, board modifications, custom cabling, and customer specific testing requirements. A well-defined systems integration process (see figure 3) guarantees that all customer requirements are well documented and captured and that quality is ensured through the use of prototype phase, production pilot run(s), QA checkpoints, technician training, and document control.

Often, integration an SBC into a specific application requires removing or modifying SBC connectors (e.g. from vertical to 90 degree) to solve space and fit constraints. Many of these modifications can be made on an order-specific basis by ADL Embedded Solutions technicians working to IPC610 Class III standards. For long-term projects, customer-specific BOMs can be created to ensure product consistency over the life of the product. Please contact your Sales Engineer for a quote.

Customer specific BIOS and firmware requirements can include:

• Fixed BIOS/firmware revision control
• Custom BIOS Configuration Settings and Defaults
• Custom Splash Screens and logos
• Custom BIOS integration of specific flat panels
