DFI PTH171-IE-U7366HRE Intel Core Ultra 7 366HRE Industrial Mini-ITX Motherboard with Triple 2.5GbE and -20 to 70 °C

Machine vision on a factory floor often needs two things a small board rarely offers together: a proper PCIe slot for a frame grabber or fieldbus card, and a rating for a cabinet that goes cold at night. The PTH171-IE-U7366HRE is the build in the DFI PTH171 series that brings the most CPU to that pairing.

It carries the Intel Core Ultra 7 366HRE (Panther Lake) with Intel vPro and Arc Xe3 graphics, in the 25 W configuration DFI lists for the board. Two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots run in dual channel at up to 7200 MHz and take up to 128 GB. HDMI 2.0, DP++ and USB-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode drive three 4K displays at 60 Hz, with a fourth through an optional M.2 A-key module.

As an -IE- build it has a PCIe Gen5 x4 slot, in addition to an M.2 M-key with PCIe Gen5 x4 for an NVMe SSD, a B-key with Nano SIM for cellular, an E-key for Wi-Fi and two SATA ports. Three 2.5GbE ports on Intel I226V and I226LM controllers split camera, machine and plant traffic. The board adds two USB 3.2 Gen 2, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 and one USB 2.0 port at the rear, five USB 2.0 on headers, four COM ports and 8-bit DIO.

The PTH171-IE-U7366HRE operates across a wide temperature range of -20 to 70 °C under an active cooler and runs from 12 V DC on a barrel connector or 4-pin connector, with CE, FCC, UKCA and RoHS compliance. Where the cabinet runs hot and sealed, PTH171-IE-U7365RE uses the 15 W Core Ultra 7 365RE. If the site is conditioned and no PCIe card is needed, PTH171-IB-U9388H offers the Core Ultra 9 388H.
