Vecow EAC-4000F-XR16 NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16GB Embedded Box PC with Super Mode Fansink, Mini PCIe with SIM and Dual COM

Super Mode raises the clocks on the Jetson Orin NX, but it also raises the heat, and a passive heatsink can only shed so much. Vecow built the EAC-4000F-XR16 for that case. It is the fan-cooled member of the EAC-4000 series, with a fansink on top of the heatsink so the Orin NX 16GB can hold 40 W Super Mode. This makes the EAC-4000F-XR16 an embedded box PC for sustained vision and robot loads rather than short bursts.

The module carries an eight-core Arm Cortex-A78AE CPU, a 1024-core Ampere GPU with 32 Tensor Cores, two NVDLA engines and 16 GB of LPDDR5, with a standard rating of up to 100 TOPS. The extra thermal headroom matters most where several camera streams feed models that run continuously, such as automated optical inspection on a production line. Hardware video encode reaches one 4K stream at 60 fps in HEVC. We supply it with JetPack 6.2 on Ubuntu 22.04 and the NVMe SSD fitted, tested at the power mode the application needs.

Connections are one Gigabit Ethernet port, four USB 3.1 Type-A ports, HDMI 2.0 at up to 4K at 60 Hz and two DB9 COM ports that switch between RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485. The NVMe SSD sits in an M.2 Key M socket on PCIe 4.0 x4, and a full-size Mini PCIe socket with a nano SIM and two antenna positions takes an optional 4G or Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module.

Power is 12 V DC on a three-pin terminal block. In 40 W Super Mode with the fansink, Vecow rates the unit from -25 °C to 45 °C, and in 15 W mode up to 55 °C. Shock and vibration are tested to MIL-STD-810G, with EN 50155 and EN 50121-3-2 compliance listed, and the unit mounts on a wall or an optional DIN rail. The fanless EAC-4000-XR16 suits lower power modes, and the EAC-4000F-XR08 brings the fansink to the 8GB module.
