COM Express Formfactor

COM Express, defined by the PCI Industrial Computer Manufactures Group (PICMG), is the most successful Computer-On-Module (COM) standard in the embedded market today. COM Express employs a mezzanine-based approach, whereby an off-the-shelve module with two 220-pin board-to-board connectors, plugs into a custom, application-specific carrier board.

The COM Express form factor defines mini-, compact-, basic-, and extended-size modules. Each size focuses on specific application areas and power envelopes. Get more detail https://www.adlinktech.com/en/COM-Express
