Specific 3D Mechanical Models
The Aquila AM69/TDA4 3D model is simplified and contains only the PCB and the CPU. It is intended to be used for heat spreader or heat sink designs. The CPU height is a typical value. Due to production tolerances, the actual height of the assembled component can be different. Please use the Aquila Family Specification with the maximum component height for testing the mechanical fit. This ensures the mechanical design fits all current Aquila modules as well as future releases.
