NI sbRIO-9651 System on Module Carrier Board Design Guide
This method accommodates a layer of thermal grease that is 0.08 mm (0.003 in.) thick between
the aluminum heat spreader of the sbRIO-9651 SOM and the metal base panel. However, thicker
thermal interface materials may require different lengths of standoffs or mounting bosses. The
direction of fastening may also require custom lengths or types of fasteners and might impact
ease of assembly.
Mounting on a Panel or Plate with Flathead Screws
Alternatively, use flathead screws when mounting on a panel or plate, as shown in Figure 4-2.
Figure 4-2.

Mounting on a Panel or Plate with an Attached Heat Sink
Your system design might require you to attach a heat sink or other thermal solution described
in the
Mounting Recommendations for Maximizing Thermal Performance
section of this
chapter. Figure 4-3 shows standoffs and fasteners that are compatible with the AlphaNovatech
S01LZZ0E-A heat sink that is included in the sbRIO-9651 SOM development kit.
