PPC-J1900-101-C

Version 2.0

Product Overview

The PPC-J1900 series PPC-J1900-101-C is a rugged, high-quality NEMA/IP65-compliant industrial panel PC. This single board computer features a 10.1” multi-point capacitive touch screen with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels.

The PPC-J1900-101-C Industrial Panel PC is powered by Intel® Celeron® J1900 quad-core CPU and equipped with a broad range of connectivity options, allowing it to meet highly demanding application requirements in harsh industrial or outdoor environments.

A specially designed magnesium-aluminum alloy housing with fins for increased heat dissipation serves as a passive cooler, eliminating the need for built-in fans. The fan-less design reduces noise, as well as the maintenance costs and efforts, increasing reliability at the same time.

Caution

Be careful when handling the product while it is operating: the back panel might become hot under heavy CPU load.
