DFI WCL051-BT-350 Intel Core 7 350 2.5″ Pico-ITX SBC with Dual 2.5GbE, HDMI and LVDS

Vision inspection stations, multi-screen HMIs and edge gateways that aggregate several data streams tend to run short of processor before they run short of space. The WCL051-BT-350 answers that inside a 100 x 72 mm footprint: it is the Core 7 build of the DFI WCL051 series, a 2.5″ Pico-ITX SBC designed to be integrated into an OEM enclosure, panel or controller.

The Intel Core 7 350 is a six-core Wildcat Lake processor with a 15 W TDP, running from 1.5 GHz up to 4.8 GHz, the highest turbo frequency in the series. Intel Xe3 graphics handles hardware decode of AV1, HEVC, VP9, AVC and VVC, and encode of AV1, HEVC, VP9 and AVC, so camera streams and video playback need not load the CPU cores. A single DDR5 SO-DIMM socket takes up to 64 GB at 6400 MHz, which leaves room for inference runtimes, databases or large HMI projects.

Two 2.5GbE ports on Intel I226V controllers can split a camera network from the plant network. HDMI runs at up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz and dual-channel LVDS drives a panel at up to 1920 x 1200, so the board can feed a local touchscreen and a second monitor at once. Two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, two internal USB 2.0 ports, two RS-232/422/485 ports and 8-bit DIO cover peripherals and field signals. The M.2 E-key, B-key with nano SIM and M-key PCIe Gen4 x2 sockets take Wi-Fi, 4G or 5G and SSD storage.

Power comes from a single 12 V DC terminal block, and the WCL051-BT-350 operates from 0 to 60 °C with the active cooler DFI supplies, suiting indoor enclosures and cabinets. It runs Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 24H2 or Linux, with a discrete TPM 2.0 and CE, FCC, UKCA and RoHS compliance. Where a lower clock is enough, the WCL051-BT-320 keeps the same six cores and I/O at up to 4.6 GHz, and the WCL051-BT-305 suits kiosks and signage at up to 4.3 GHz.
