Product Overview

The OBPC600-SPC480-8th-Gen-i5-8365U is a rugged, fanless Industrial Mini PC built around the Intel i5-8365U processor (4C/8T, base 1.6GHz, max turbo 4.1GHz, TDP 15W). Housed in a compact aluminum alloy chassis (234×205×68mm) with elevated fin height + copper core, it is engineered for 24/7 operation in harsh industrial environments with a wide operating temperature range of -10°C to 60°C. The system comes standard with 8GB DDR4 SO-DIMM and a 128GB M.2 SATA SSD, with flexible storage expansion via 1× m.2 pcie3.0×4 / sata auto-detect + 1× 2.5″ sata bay. Connectivity includes 2× 2.5gbe lan (realtek rtl8125bg), 6× COM ports (RS232/422/485 configurable), dual independent displays via VGA and HDMI, and 10× usb total: 2× usb3.0 (rear) + 4× usb2.0 (front) + 4× usb2.0 (rear). Backed by AMI BIOS with scheduled and remote boot, plus a 256-level hardware watchdog timer, the OBPC600-SPC480-8th-Gen-i5-8365U keeps mission-critical workloads running reliably with minimal maintenance. 8th Gen Whiskey Lake-U introduced true quad-core designs to the 15W U-series. The SPC480-B chassis responds with an elevated fin height and integrated copper core that pulls heat away from all four cores simultaneously, sustaining turbo clocks longer than standard fanless boxes. Ideal for factory automation, digital signage, interactive kiosks, edge computing, machine vision, and industrial control cabinets. Part of the SPC480-A · Edge & Mainstream category — Obeytouch OBPC600-SPC480 series.

Operating Environment

CPU Performance Profile

The Intel i5-8365U processor, built on the Whiskey Lake architecture, features 4 cores and 8 threads with a base clock of 1.6 GHz and turbo boost up to 4.1 GHz. The 15W TDP enables efficient fanless cooling in the OBPC600 aluminum chassis, making it suitable for 24/7 industrial deployment.

Integrated Intel UHD 620 graphics provides hardware-accelerated video decode and dual-display output via VGA and HDMI, supporting resolutions up to 4K@60Hz on HDMI.

Recommended Applications

With the 2× COM configuration, the OBPC600-i5-8365U is optimized for:

• Machine vision and multi-camera inspection
• PLC communication and MODBUS networks
• Data acquisition and real-time monitoring
• Edge computing and light AI inference

2C Configuration Benefits

The 2C model provides 2× BIOS-selectable COM ports (RS232/422/485), ideal for applications requiring minimal serial connectivity such as single PLC communication, POS systems, or lightweight HMI setups. The compact I/O layout reduces cable clutter in space-constrained installations.
