Heatsink
The KBox A-150-HSW is a fanless and passively cooled using a heatsink plate to dissipates heat from within the
KBox A-150-HSW’s chassis to the ambient environment. When mounting the KBox A-150-HSW in a DIN rail enclosure
or housing take care not to obstruct the airflow over the heatsink plate, as this stops sufficient heat dispersing into
the ambient environment and causes a build-up of heat.
Features of the heatsink plate are:
Surface area of 171 mm x 105 mm

Heatsink Fins (Optional)
An optional turnable heatsink with cooling fins is available for installation on the heatsink plate. The heatsink cooling
fins are tunable by 90° and can be fitted on the KBox A-150-HSW to suit each possible installation position by remain
in the vertical position to support the direction of the air flow within the DIN rail enclosure or housing. The heatsink
support the use of the DIN rail.
