iEi PAC-53G 3-Slot Half-Size Compact Embedded PC Chassis with Heavy-Duty Metal Construction

The iEi PAC-53G is a 3-slot half-size compact embedded PC chassis engineered for demanding industrial environments such as integration with the X-Series II ICP-MS and similar instrumentation. Designed to meet RoHS compliance, this chassis is constructed from heavy-duty metal finished in white for enhanced durability.

Key features include a Via C3 Processor compatibility, a half-size single board computer (SBC) form factor with slot CPU cards, and three expansion slots allowing versatile configuration for industrial or laboratory computing applications. The front panel is equipped with two USB ports facilitating peripheral connections critical in bioprocessing instrumentation and molecular diagnostics systems. An internal bay supports a 2.5” HDD or SSD, enabling reliable local data storage essential for continuous data acquisition and real-time processing in bioscience research and biomanufacturing workflows.

Additional controls comprise a power switch, reset button, and LED indicators for power and HDD status, ensuring straightforward operation and monitoring in controlled laboratory or production environments. Interfaces include 1 x LPT, 1 x COM, and 2 x USB ports, offering flexible connectivity options for legacy and modern lab devices.

Weighing approximately 4.8 kg (10.58 lbs) with compact dimensions (26.39 cm x 14.4 cm x 25.2 cm), the PAC-53G chassis supports efficient space utilization in modular biotechnological instrument setups and synthetic biology laboratories. It is an essential hardware foundation widely adopted in embedded computing solutions where robustness and flexibility are critical.

This chassis supports industrial processing units as categorized under harmonized code 847150, making it suitable for integration into complex molecular diagnostics, cell imaging instrumentation, and biotechnology research platforms requiring stable computing enclosures for embedded systems. Power cords are included; however, add-on peripherals and software must be procured separately.

Overall, the PAC-53G chassis provides a resilient and adaptable platform ideal for embedded industrial PC applications in biotechnology, synthetic biology, and clinical diagnostic devices, supporting a broad spectrum of research and development pipelines focused on gene editing, bioprocessing, and biomedical engineering.
