Thermal Details 

 

The Sprocket Carrier Board has an Operating Temperature Range of -40

°

C to +85

°

C. 

 
However, it is important to note that the NVIDIA Jetson TX2 and TX1 Modules have its own properties 
separate to that of the Sprocket Carrier Board. The NVIDIA Jetson TX2i matches the Sprocket Operating 
Temperature Range of -40°C to +85°C. 
 
Customer responsibility requires proper implementation of a thermal solution that maintains the 
TX2/TX2i/TX1 SoC and Thermal Transfer Plate (TTP) temperatures below the specified temperatures (shown 
in the tables below) under the maximum thermal load and system conditions for their use case.
