Pandora provides a fast, light, rugged, and flexible enclosure solution for PC/104 systems. In the Pandora concept, one end cap comprises a base plate on which you construct your PC/104 stack and attach cables. Once your board and cable assembly is complete, you simply insert the system into the enclosure body and bolt it in place. Then attach your cables to the second end cap and bolt it into place. Pandora also includes plenty of space all around your boards for cable runs. This results in a solid, reliable, easy-to-use enclosure system and also enables quick disassembly if needed.
Pandora’ design features smooth outer walls, inegrated pre-tapped mounting screw holes, counter-sunk panel mounting holes, and flush-mount hardware to provide a clean, finished unit with simplified assembly effort and maximum interior space.
Pandora is available in two standard colors, black and purple. It comes in multiple sizes, from a slim 1.7” that houses one or two boards, up to a roomy 10” length that accommodates multiple boards plus a hard drive or other equipment.
Standard end caps are available, either blank or with pre-drilled PC/104 mounting holes. A convenient wall mount plate is also available with corner mounting tabs so you can mount the system to a wall or bulkhead. Custom end caps can be made as well using the template available on our website.
Each standard Pandora case comes with two blank end caps, one end cap with PC/104 mounting holes for bottom-up assembly (3 end caps total), and stainless steel mounting screws.

Pandora for Prometheus/Athena CPU |
Pandora provides an especially rugged and convenient packaging solution for our Prometheus PC/104 CPU. The CPU mounts directly to a Panel I/O board that provides industry-standard connectors for all I/O features. This panel board then mounts directly to a specially-designed front plate. The resulting assembly requires no cables and can fit in our smallest enclosure, measuring only 1.7” thick. Two panel boards and matching end caps are available to match the two versions of Prometheus with and without the data acquisition circuit and connector.
This configuration will also work with other PC/104 CPUs, such as Athena, that provide connector compatibility with Prometheus.
A base plate is available for mounting EPIC CPU boards inside a 7” Pandora enclosure. This base plate may also be used for PC/104 stacks mounted in a non-axial configuration. The base plate slides into interior grooves in the enclosure body and bolts to the two end caps for rigidity.
