Compact 3.5-Inch Industrial Motherboard with 6x Isolated COM Ports and 16-bit GPIO
In today’s fast-evolving industrial world, reliability and flexibility are everything. Choosing the right industrial motherboard can determine whether your system runs smoothly 24/7 or faces costly downtime. That’s why Thinkbest developed this 3.5-inch embedded industrial motherboard, designed to power demanding applications while ensuring stable, secure connectivity.
Built on the Intel® Alder Lake-N Platform
This board is built on Intel’s latest Alder Lake-N platform, supporting processors such as Intel® N97 / N100 / N200 and Intel® Core™ i3-N300 / N305. Combined with a DDR5 SO-DIMM slot supporting up to 32GB memory, this compact motherboard delivers excellent performance with low power consumption—ideal for edge computing and industrial control.
Rich I/O for Maximum Connectivity
Industrial environments require versatile connections, and this motherboard delivers:
- 6x COM ports with electrical isolation – protecting your system from surges and interference while ensuring safe, stable communication with industrial devices.
- 16-bit GPIO (8 inputs, 8 outputs) – perfect for flexible control and monitoring of external equipment.
- 2x Intel® Gigabit LAN (I210 chipset) – providing reliable and fast Ethernet connectivity.
- 7x USB (2x USB 3.0 + 5x USB 2.0) – supporting peripherals and expansion.
- Multiple display outputs (HDMI, DP, LVDS/eDP) – enabling high-resolution graphics up to 4K@60Hz.
This industrial motherboard is compact in size (146mm x 102mm) but offers big capabilities for system integrators.
Designed for Harsh Environments
Industrial applications often operate in tough conditions. The motherboard supports 9~36V wide voltage DC power input, a watchdog timer for system stability, and an operating temperature range from 0°C to 60°C. Whether it’s factory automation, kiosks, digital signage, or transportation control, this board is built to last.
Flexible Expansion for Future Needs
To keep up with modern demands, the motherboard provides multiple expansion options:
M.2 E-Key slot for Wi-Fi/BT modules
M.2 B-Key slot for 4G/5G connectivity
M.2 M-Key 2242 slot supporting SATA/NVMe SSDs
This makes it a future-ready solution for edge computing, IoT, and smart industry deployments.
