Figure 40. Thermal Mounting Solutions Comparison
1. Good—Horizontal mounting with no additional thermal provisions
2. Better—Vertical mounting with an attached heat sink
3. Best—Vertical mounting directly to a thermally-conductive wall or plate
Designing A Thermal Solution
If the Thermal Kit for CompactRIO Single Board Controller with NI-DAQmx (787331-01)
does not satisfy your design requirements, NI recommends replicating the features of the heat
spreader into your own thermal solution. Use the specified pedestal dimensions and a Laird
HD700 0.060 in. thermal gap pad with a fastener assembly rate of 4.23 mm/s (10 in./min.) to
prevent damage to the critical components during assembly. NI recommends that you replicate
each of the pedestals and not just the pedestal for the CPU/FPGA.
