Description

The EDATEC CM4 IO Case is engineered to enhance the capabilities and durability of your Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4. This robust metal enclosure perfectly accommodates the CM4 IO Board, ensuring all essential interfaces like HDMI, USB, and Ethernet remain accessible. It transforms the Compute Module 4 into a resilient industrial computer, ideal for demanding factory floor environments where reliability is paramount.

Beyond physical protection, the case integrates key functionalities such as a real-time clock (RTC) with a battery socket, a microSD card slot for CM4 Lite models, and a PCIe Gen2 socket for high-speed peripherals. A standout feature is the system-controlled one-click power switch, which utilizes GPIO3 to safely power on and shut off the system, preventing potential file system corruption that can occur with abrupt power cuts.

Designed for optimal thermal management, the case allows for direct installation of a 12V/60mA silent fan over the CM4, capable of reducing CPU temperatures significantly. This, coupled with thoughtful ventilation slots and anti-vibration silicone washers, ensures efficient heat dissipation and quiet operation, making the EDATEC CM4 IO Case a comprehensive solution for deploying the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 in professional and industrial applications.

Key Features

  • One-Click System Power Switch: Safely power on/off the Compute Module 4 via GPIO3, preventing file system damage common with traditional hardware power cuts.
  • Robust Hardware Protection: Precision-engineered metal case perfectly fits the CM4 IO Board, leading out all interfaces and offering excellent EMI shielding and physical protection.
  • Reliable CM4 Mounting: Four bottom nuts and 1.5mm nylon washers securely fix the Compute Module 4 to the IO board and case, preventing PCB deformation and ensuring stable connections in vibrating environments.
  • Enhanced Cooling Solution: Supports a 12V/60mA silent fan directly above the CM4 (isolated by silicone washers), reducing CPU temperature by up to 20°C and dissipating heat through side slots.
  • Integrated External Antenna: Features a Raspberry Pi official certified 2.4G/5.8GHz WiFi/Bluetooth antenna installed directly on the case for improved wireless connectivity.
  • Real-time Clock (RTC): Includes a Philips CR2032 eco-friendly battery to enable and maintain RTC function for accurate timekeeping.
  • MicroSD Card Socket: Provides an accessible microSD card socket, specifically beneficial for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 Lite variants that lack eMMC storage.
  • PCIe Gen2 Socket: Offers a PCIe Gen2 expansion slot for integrating high-speed peripherals or M.2 SSDs (via an adapter, if not directly).
