The COM Express PnP Initiative strongly recommends to use the following

location

peg hole tolerances instead of those indicated in the footprint drawings from

the

COM Express Specification as shown above:

• 0.8mm +0.075/-0.025mm

• 1.5mm +0.075/-0.025mm

6.4 COM Express Form Factors

The COM Express specification was developed by the PCI Industrial Computer

Manufacturing Group (PICMG) in close collaboration with many leading companies

across the embedded industry in order to find an implementation solution to handle

upcoming new high speed serial I/Os, processors and chipsets. COM Express

specifies two form factors, as well as five different types of connector pinouts. The two

form factors are referred to as Basic and Extended. The Basic module footprint is

125mm x 95mm and focuses on space-constrained, low power systems which

typically do not contain more than one horizontal mounted SO-DIMM. The Extended

footprint is slightly larger at 155mm x 110mm and supports up to two full size, vertically

mounted DIMM modules to accommodate larger memory configurations for

high-performance CPUs, chipsets and multiprocessor systems. The placement of the

shielded 220-pin connectors and the mounting holes are identical between these two

footprints.
