D430 embedded thermal requirements
Do you have a thermal resistance spec for the heatsink?
I dont see the temp spec for the camera module in the datasheet. Where is it located/what is it? Is that measured using the temp sensor on the module?
Thanks

Hi Steven Wilson The temperature information for the depth modules is at the bottom of page 50 of the current edition of the 400 Series data sheet document. I have quoted that section in the image below.
Page 48 states "The stereo depth module is equipped with a thermal sensor that is used for laser safety control (IR Projector). The Intel RealSense SDK 2.0 library provides access to the thermal sensor readouts. Temperature information does not reflect the ambient temperature of the module"
"The depth module implements a laser safety control circuit that adjusts laser drive output. When laser power and depth streaming is enabled and if stereo depth module temperature is >60°C, laser power is halved. If temperature is not lowered below temperature limit within a certain interval, the laser is shut off".
The camera can continue operating if the laser shuts off, though depth image quality may be reduced.

There is not publicly available information available about the thermal resistance of heatsinks used with RealSense depth camera modules.
I am not a member of the Intel RealSense Help Center forum team as I just volunteer here. I therefore recommend creating a new post on this forum asking again about the RealSense heatsink thermal resistance and request for a member of the Help Center team to respond to your query in a private ticket.
