Need Operating and Storage Temperature Ranges for 5 Components

[jemyers]

I need the operating and storage temperature ranges (min to max) for the following components:

• CABLE, 26-PIN MICRO-COAX FOR IMAGE SENSOR MODULES: MCBL-00084-180
• EO Camera: MSU-M0161
• Flight Computer (VOXL2 FLIGHT CONTROLLER): VOXL 2 / MDK-M0154-1-00
• IMAGE SENSOR MICRO-COAX ADAPTER: MDK-M0155-1-00
• VOXL2 ETHERNET & USB HUB ADAPTER: MDK-M0062-3-00

Hi @jemyers
Great question, and one we get fairly often.
Across all of the components you listed, our published operating and storage temperature specification is 0°C to 70°C. This applies to the MCBL-00084-180 cable, VOXL 2 flight computer, MDK-M0155-1-00 image sensor adapter, and MDK-M0062-3-00 Ethernet and USB Hub Adapter.
One component worth calling out specifically is the MSU-M0161 EO camera, which uses the Sony IMX412 image sensor. Sony only guarantees image performance between -10°C and 60°C, so camera-equipped configurations are particularly sensitive at temperature extremes and should be considered the limiting element in your system thermal budget.
As another data point, our M0041 power module has been internally qualified by ModalAI at -40°C to 100°C operational, which gives a sense of the headroom available at the power input stage when the rest of the system is not the limiting factor.
Our 0°C to 70°C published spec is a conservative bound driven by limiting components throughout the system including crystals, connectors, and image sensors as noted above. That said, the underlying platform has demonstrated capability well beyond these limits. VOXL has been selected for and qualified on the JPL CADRE lunar mission, passing qualification well outside any commercial temperature spec. VOXL 2 has similarly undergone rigorous external environmental qualification for customer programs. A final integrator who performs their own system-level thermal profiling and qualification can reasonably expect operation outside the published range depending on configuration and use case.

Thank you very much, Vinny, for your time and response.
