Outdoor electrical cabinets
Electrical cabinets installed outdoors — pump stations, transformer stations, traffic-light poles, container yards. At midday the enclosure soaks up the sun and the air inside typically runs 10–20°C above ambient: 38°C outside easily means 55–60°C inside the cabinet. At night it drops fast, and moisture condenses on the boards.
Industrial computer Sealed inside the cabinet · 18 series · 60 models
Panel PC Screen exposed to sun and rain · 7 series · 85 models A box PC sits sealed inside the cabinet, with no display exposed. What it has to withstand is the heat building up in the cabinet and the power source already available there.
18 Industrial computer series meet all the conditions
That is 60 specific configurations. Open a series to pick screen size and CPU.

Where people get caught out
Things the filter above does NOT catch. Read before you commit.
- The temperature range in a datasheet is usually measured with an industrial SSD. Fit a commercial SSD (0–70°C) into a machine rated −40~70°C and the real limit is the SSD’s, not the machine’s.
- Many machines quote their high temperature rating with a condition like "0.7 m/s airflow". A sealed outdoor cabinet has no such airflow — ask our engineers which case the number applies to.

A Panel PC mounted on the cabinet face or in an outdoor kiosk: the display is exposed directly to sun and rain. On top of the heat tolerance a box PC needs, it must also stay READABLE in sunlight and keep water out at the front — those two display criteria are what eliminate the most machines.

Where people get caught out
Things the filter above does NOT catch. Read before you commit.
- The IP rating on the machine covers the FRONT FACE only. The rear and the connectors must still sit inside a cabinet or a sealed kiosk shell — no Panel PC can hang bare in the open.
- A 1000-nit display generates significant heat of its own, and the backlight ages fast under prolonged direct sun. A canopy or a mounting direction that avoids direct sun makes the machine last noticeably longer — describe the mounting direction when you talk to our engineers.
- Rainwater sitting on the glass can make capacitive touch register phantom input. If the machine sits where rain strikes directly, describe it clearly so our engineers pick the right touch variant.
