Protection Against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

DFI Industrial-grade motherboards raise the bar in terms of protecting customers’ devices, providing premiere electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection for all I/O ports. In alignment with the IEC 61000-4-2 regulation by the IEC Association, over 8,000 volts of electricity are used to verify that DFI’s product will not be affected by an ESD event and will remain dependable even in uncontrolled circumstances. DFI leads the industry with strict ESD testing, including rigorous voltage and frequency testing, enabling the I/O ports to withstand a transient voltage of 8kV; unmatched by competitive offerings.

Ruggedization for Harsh Environments

Equipment for heavy industrial applications must be able to survive in critical environments including extreme temperatures, rain, moisture, salt, fog, vibration, and shock. The embedded computers used in these environments must be designed to withstand these conditions. DFI’s embedded systems feature Intel Core/Atom processors, with fanless designs which support extended operating temperatures of -20°C to 70°C. These systems also offer high-performance computing capability, which enables and optimizes mission-critical data processing, acceleration and compression.

In addition, for rugged panel PC products, DFI provides customized IP6X-rated panels, protecting the system against splashing, rainwater, detergents and other fluids. Lastly, DFI’s rugged computers are designed with industrial-grade components from reliable motherboards to military-grade mechanical/ID customization design. With its flexible technologies and rugged platforms, DFI has a history of innovation and delivering custom rugged defense products that provide a competitive advantage and reduce time-to-deployment for systems integrators.
