Design guides / pre-sales engineering

Three guides. One decision each.

Envelope, temperature, voltage. Each guide carries a decision table, values from real spec cards and a stated system-level boundary. No article for its own sake.

The library / three questions

Start with the question, not the article title.

Each card begins with the question, then names the models and the value that decides it.

ITX660B industrial motherboard, Mini-ITX, 170 × 170 mm

Which envelope fits my enclosure?

Six form factors at one scale, with mounting holes, connector height and heatsink clearance.

What does −20…+60 °C change?

Parts, thermal headroom, validation and derating, including the TIM800B −10 °C exception.

AD600Z3AW industrial motherboard, 3.5-inch Wide, 155 × 117 mm

What does 9–36 V protect against?

Six models, the input window, surge and reverse-polarity questions, brown-out and grounding.

Decision map

Each guide answers one cut.

  • Envelope . Board size and mounting pattern.
  • Temperature . Rating, derating and enclosure heat.
  • Voltage . Input window and protection checks.
Guide selection path One question leads to three criteria: envelope, temperature and voltage; each criterion points to one guide. QUESTION Design constraint ENVELOPE Size and mounting TEMPERATURE Rating and derating VOLTAGE Input and protection GUIDE 01 Form factor GUIDE 02 Wide temp GUIDE 03 Wide voltage

Use the map once; the guide carries the table.

Guide to model

Which models each guide actually uses.

Every model name below links to a product page; values come from the spec cards.

Model names are exact; each guide page carries the dimension or range behind them.

Model shelf

Six boards, six envelopes; the shelf is a starting point, not a shortlist.

Board detail / what the values refer to

Three details the guides ask you to check.

ITX660B industrial motherboard, Mini-ITX, 170 × 170 mm, mounting and connector detail
ITX660B · mounting and connector height
AD600Z3AW industrial motherboard, 3.5-inch Wide, 155 × 117 mm, I/O edge
AD600Z3AW · I/O edge and cable exit
TIM800B industrial motherboard, Mini-ITX, 170 × 170 mm, display headers
TIM800B · display headers and heatsink

Mounting pattern, connector height and cable exit decide the last millimetre.

Editorial scope

Two questions about the library.

Are these generic articles?

No. Each guide uses values from the model spec cards and states its boundary.

Do they use real model values?

Yes. Dimensions, temperature ranges and input ranges come from the spec cards.

Next step / design question

Send the decision, not the whole project.

Tell us the envelope, the operating range and the I/O count. We reply with a model shortlist and the spec cards. Quote within 24–48 h.
