Physical Specifications
Table 1-3 lists the physical dimensions of the module.
Weight0.02 kg (0.05 lb)
Height (overall)3.05 mm (0.12 inches)
Board thickness1.27 mm (0.05 inches)
Width50.00 mm (1.97 inches)
Length82.00 mm (3.23 inches)

Figure 1-3: Connector Location (Top Side)
Table 1-3: Weight and Footprint Dimensions
ItemDimension
Overall height is measured from the upper board
surface to the top of the highest permanent
component (JTAG1 connector) on the upper board
surface. This measurement does not include the
cooling solution, which can vary. The cooling
solution will probably increase this dimension.

Environmental Specifications
Table 1-5 provides the most efficient operating and storage condition ranges required for this
module.

ParameterConditions
Temperature
Standard–20° to +70° C (-4° to +158° F)
Extended (Optional)–40° to +85° C (–40° to +185° F)

Thermal/Cooling Requirements
The LEC-3517 is designed to operate at its maximum CPU speed and requires a thermal solution. ADLINK offers one optional thermal solution described in Table 1-6.
The overall system design must keep the ICs within their operating temperature
specifications.

(without fan)
Qualified to maintain optimal performance up to +85°C. (See Quick Start
Guide for P/N of heatsink.)
