Overview
The RDK X5 aluminum alloy protective case with cooling fan is customized for the D-Robotics RDK X5 development board. It combines a high-strength aluminum alloy shell with a hollowed-out ventilation design and an integrated fan to help reduce board temperature during long-term high-load operation, supporting stable system performance. Multiple cutouts are reserved for fast access to peripherals such as USB, HDMI, MIPI camera cable routing, and more.
Key Features
- Customized for RDK X5: precise fit for RDK X5 (not compatible with RDK X3).
- Aluminum alloy housing: oxidation sandblasting process; frosted/brushed gray metallic finish.
- Cooling design: hollowed-out top ventilation plus large-size cooling fan and fan heat dissipation block.
- Reserved interface openings: Type-C power port, Type-C device port, Micro USB debug port, LCD display port, camera cable hole, Ethernet port, USB, HDMI interface, 3.5 mm headphone jack, TF card slot / TF card interface, and 40PIN GPIO access.
- Optional camera mounting bracket support: RDK X5 exclusive MIPI HD camera can be installed; camera angle is adjustable (camera module not included).

Details


A precision-fit aluminum alloy enclosure for the D‑Robotics RDK X5, finished in frosted brushed gray and built for active cooling.

Designed specifically for the RDK X5 development board with pre-reserved interface openings for a clean, accurate fit.

Add the optional bracket to mount an RDK X5 MIPI HD camera and adjust the viewing angle for vision projects.


The anodized aluminum housing helps protect the board while improving heat transfer during long runtimes.

A hollowed-out top panel works with the fan to keep airflow moving during high-load operation.

A large-size cooling fan mounts inside the case to actively pull heat away from the development board.

Cutouts are reserved for fast access to Type‑C, Micro USB, HDMI, Ethernet, USB ports, TF card, audio jack, and 40‑pin GPIO.


Mechanical drawings provide key dimensions and mounting-hole positions for integration into larger builds.

The package includes the case, cooling fan, and screw set, with a bundle option that adds the camera bracket.
