CM4 IO Smart Case

CM4 IO Smart Case

The CM4 IO Smart Case is an industrial-strength enclosure for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 IO Board, offering superior protection, cooling, and functionality.

Key Featured
  • Industrial Adaptability: Designed for tough factory environments.
  • Safe Power Control: GPIO-controlled power switch prevents system crashes.
  • Rugged Protection: Metal housing shields sensitive components.
  • Reliable Fixing: Secures the Compute Module 4 under vibration.
  • Built-In Cooling: A silent fan keeps temperatures down.
  • Enhanced Connectivity: Integrated WiFi/Bluetooth antenna.
  • Pre-Included Battery: For real-time clock functionality.
  • No Extra Cooling Needed: Efficient fan negates the need for extra heatsinks.

The CM4 IO Smart Case is a robust enclosure designed to transform the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 IO Board into a resilient industrial computer suitable for tough factory floor environments. This case not only provides a sturdy housing for the board but also enhances its functionality with several key features.

One of the standout aspects of the CM4 IO Smart Case is its one-click switch, which controls the system power through the GPIO3 on the 40pin connector and the software running on the Compute Module 4. This innovative switch method prevents the risk of file system damage and system crashes associated with traditional power supply switches that can interrupt the Compute Module 4's operation.

The case offers comprehensive hardware protection, fitting snugly around the Compute Module 4 IO Board and leading all necessary interfaces out of the enclosure. Its metal construction provides excellent shielding and safeguarding against potential damage in industrial settings. To ensure a secure and reliable connection in vibrating environments, the case includes four nuts that fix the Compute Module 4 to both the IO Board and the case itself. Additionally, four 1.5mm height black nylon washers support the Compute Module 4, preventing PCB deformation and circuit damage.

For effective cooling, a 12V/60mA silent fan is installed directly over the Compute Module 4, isolated from the case by four silicone washers that significantly reduce noise amplification. This fan can lower the CPU temperature by up to 20°C, with the system's heat being dissipated through slots on the case's sides.

The CM4 IO Smart Case also accommodates an external antenna, specifically Raspberry Pi’s Official certified 2.4G/5.8GHz WiFi/Bluetooth Antenna, ensuring strong wireless connectivity. An eco-friendly Philips CR2032 battery is offered to enable the RTC function, adding to the case's versatility.

In terms of physical specifications, the CM4 IO Smart Case measures 171.5mm in length, 109.5mm in width, and 28.5mm in height, with a weight of 450g. It is designed to house the Compute Module 4 and IO Board internally, with the case's structure providing ample space for these components. The CM4 IO Smart Case is an excellent choice for those looking to turn their Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 IO Board into a robust and efficient industrial computer.
