Introduction
This instruction manual applies to both the ModICE™ SE and LE enclosure systems.
• Small Enclosure : SE 18, 30 and 48 I/O
• Large Enclosure : LE 30, 48 and 60 I/O
• Blank Headers are also available for specic customer applications
Available options:
• Header with ferrite lter
• Enclosure with 1 or 2 heat sinks
• Enclosure with breather membrane
NOTE: The heat sink feature requires additional steps in the assembly of the printed circuit board.
Ferrite lter (optional) Heat Sink (optional) Spring Plate for Heat Sink (optional)

Printed Circuit Board Assembly
Protect the Header functional areas from conformal
coating.
Ferrites must be immobilized by using conformal coat-
ing or a bead of epoxy.
Secure Header onto the board
Headers must be secured to the board with 2
screws
• Use two, #4 self-tapping screws
• Torque: 2-3 in-lbs (0.23-0.34 Nm)
Refer to the Cinch Header drawings on
cinch.com for board layout, keep out areas and
component height restrictions

• Refer to Cinch header prints for specic
board layout and spring plate selection.
Install heat sink spring plates
• Install the spring plates after the printed
circuit board has been processed.
• Spring plates are marked “R” and “L” and
must be installed as indicated.
• When using a one (1) heat sink, use
spring plate “R” only.
• Spring plates and thermally conductive
adhesive paste are necessary to
guarantee proper heat conduction
through the heat sinks;
Cinch recommends Loctite 383.

ModICE™ is designed to be tamper proof.
Specic tools are required to open the enclosures.
Any attempt to open an enclosure without the recom-
mended tools may result in damaged parts that will af-
fect the mechanical characteristics and the sealing of the
enclosure.

In the case of a customized header,
customer may be required to modify the
opening tool to allow it to work for the
specic application.
