Acura Embedded Systems PowerBrick Slim
ATEX/C1Z2 Certified Compact Fanless IPC for Space-Constrained Installations
The Acura Embedded Systems PowerBrick Slim is an ATEX and C1Z2 certified fanless industrial computer developed for applications where limited installation space and reliable industrial computing performance must be combined in hazardous environments.
With a profile of just 40 mm depth and a weight of 1.6 kg, the PowerBrick Slim is the most compact variant in the PowerBrick range, yet equipped with a complete set of industrial I/O connections.
The device is powered by an Intel quad-core i5 or i7 processor with integrated HD graphics and AMI EFI BIOS, combined with removable SSD storage and up to 32 GB RAM, with optional RAID configuration. The I/O configuration includes four Intel Gigabit Ethernet ports, six USB ports (2 x USB 2.0, 4 x USB 3.0), four COM ports (RS232/RS422/RS485) and combined HDMI and VGA video output for simultaneous dual-monitor support.
Wireless connectivity is provided as standard via Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth, supplemented by an optional 4G/LTE cellular module for locations without fixed network infrastructure. The aluminum alloy enclosure supports DIN rail, wall and VESA mounting for maximum installation flexibility.
The PowerBrick Slim operates at temperatures from -20 °C to +60 °C, is powered via 9 to 36 V DC, is certified to C1Z2, ATEX, CSA/UL, CE and FCC, and is supplied with a three-year Bumper-to-Bumper warranty. Made in Canada.
