Fortunately, the mounting footprint remains identical. The DWI001 New uses the same four-hole pattern and DIN rail clip dimensions as its predecessor. This means a complete panel rework is unnecessary. However, note that the new unit is 6mm deeper due to the added heat sink for the higher efficiency rating. Ensure your enclosure has adequate depth clearance.

We obtained early access to two DWI001 New units and tested them across three common use cases over a 90-day period.

The DWI001 New is not for everyone. But if you fall into one of these categories, it is a no-brainer.

A minor change with major implications: the USB-C port now supports Power Delivery (PD) , meaning you can charge the internal 2,500 mAh battery from 0% to 80% in 35 minutes. Even better, DisplayPort Alt Mode allows you to connect the DWI001 New directly to a monitor or AR glasses to mirror its telemetry data—perfect for head-up displays in cockpit or factory floor settings.
