Asus J6412I-EM-A Mini-ITX Motherboard Features Intel Celeron J6412, Dual LAN, and PCIe Expansion for Industrial Applications

Asus has recently launched the J6412I-EM-A, a Mini-ITX industrial motherboard powered by the Intel Celeron J6412 quad-core processor (Elkhart Lake) with a 10W TDP, making it efficient for embedded and industrial applications.

It supports up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM via two SO-DIMM slots and features Intel UHD Graphics, offering HDMI, DisplayPort++, and VGA outputs for multi-display setups. Expansion options include a PCIe 3.0/2.0 x4 slot, M.2 slots (E and M keys) for WiFi, Bluetooth, and NVMe storage, and two SATA 6Gb/s ports for additional storage. It has dual Gigabit Ethernet ports (Realtek RTL8111H), multiple USB ports (four USB 3.2 Gen 1, four USB 2.0), six serial ports, audio jacks, and GPIO support. The board operates on a 12V DC power input, supports Windows and Linux, and has an operating temperature range of 0 to 60°C.

It is made for industrial automation, embedded systems, and IoT, this board is small, powerful, and packed with useful features for different computing tasks.

This is not the first time Asus has worked on a Mini-ITX motherboard. The N97T-IM-A and Q670EI-IM-A are examples of similar products built for industrial and embedded applications. Previously, we have covered some similar Mini-ITX motherboards, including the DFI RPS101/RPS103, the Edatech ED-SBC2300 series, and many more.
