3D Models
Toradex provides two different 3D models for Apalis Systems on Module:
Generic Apalis 3D Mechanical Models: This model has the maximum component height for testing the mechanical fit. This ensures the mechanical design fits all current Apalis modules as well as future releases.
- Specific Apalis 3D Mechanical Models: These models are simplified models of the respective Apalis module. They contain only the PCB and the CPU and are 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.
Generic Apalis 3D Mechanical Models
The generic Apalis 3D model contains the PCB and the maximum component height on top and bottom of modules from the Apalis Module Family. This model should be used to test the mechanical fit, ensuring that the mechanical design fits all current Apalis modules as well as future releases.
