Product Overview

Ultra-Compact, Fanless Embedded Solution for Raspberry Pi CM5.

The X1507 is a high-performance, fanless I/O carrier board designed for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5), offering dual M.2 NVMe slots and a streamlined layout for effortless integration. Its ultra-compact, fully passive design positions all user connectors on the top side while housing chip components and the CM5 underneath, simplifying enclosure design and enabling silent, dust-free operation. Ideal for embedded systems, edge computing, and industrial applications, the X1507 accelerates development with compatibility for Raspberry Pi HATs and off-the-shelf NVMe storage, delivering flexibility, reliability, and high-speed performance in a rugged, fanless package.

The X1507 can be installed inside a sealed metal case, redefining passive cooling by turning the metal chassis into an efficient heatsink. Its innovative thermal design directly transfers heat from CM5 critical components to the enclosure itself, creating a completely fanless system that operates in silence while eliminating dust buildup. This rugged approach ensures maximum reliability in demanding environments where moving parts would fail.

Product Features

ü	Optimized for Fanless Operation: Ultra-compact layout with passive cooling, eliminating noise, dust, and moving parts.
ü	Streamlined System Integration: All user-facing connectors are positioned on the top side, while chip components and the CM5 are mounted underneath for easy enclosure design.
