Review Display Systems (RDS) has introduced a new line of industrial motherboards from Contron. The newly launched Kontron K384x series Micro-ATX motherboards all offer Intel's latest high-performance 12th Gen Alder Lake chipset technology. Micro-ATX K3481-Q, K3482-Q and K3843-B are designed and produced for continuous 24-hour operation in industrial environments, offering different levels of integration, cost-effectiveness, and support for many Intel processors, including Core i9, i7, i5, i3, and Pentium and Celeron processors.
Offers best-in-class system performance, features common on all three motherboards, including four memory slots, support for the latest DDR5-4800 DIMMs up to 128GB, four DisplayPorts for four independent external displays, multiple M.2 SSDs Expansion capability, four USB 3.2 (Gen1/Gen2), four PCI Express (Gen5) slots, RS232 serial communication and one 8-bit GPIO. CPU TDP can be easily and simply lowered to help with onboard power management and cooling needs.
Peter Marchant, RDS Embedded Division Manager, said: "Kontron was one of the first manufacturers to design, develop and produce new Micro-ATX boards using the latest 12th Gen Intel processors. The Kontron K348x series offers a high level of on-board integration, extensive scalability, and provide an effective cost of ownership, enabling it to be used in a wide range of industrial applications."
The K3481-Q combines the high-performance Intel Q670E chipset and provides the highest level of functionality and connectivity via three Ethernet ports (two 2.5Gbps and one 1Gbps) on the rear I/O. Ethernet teaming and Intel TCC are also supported. Implementing the Intel Q670 chipset, the K3482-Q supports a single 1Gbps Ethernet port. The K3483-B offers a lower cost and population density version of the K3482-Q and features the Intel B660 business chipset. The K3482-B and K3483-Q offer extensive connectivity and integrate TPM 2.0 onboard to support Windows 11.
Kontron K3481-Q, K3482-Q and K3483-B Micro-ATX motherboards offer a mechanical form factor of 243.8mm (w) x 243.8mm (l) and support an operating temperature range of 0C to +60C, allowing for a variety of applications use. RDS can design, develop and deliver fully integrated custom embedded systems with computing hardware, high resolution displays, mechanical fixtures and accessories, firmware and operating system support.
