Form Factors

The COM Express specification describes 4 different sized COM Express Modules. The Mini
(55x84 mm), Compact (95x95 mm), Basic (95x125 mm) and the Extended (110x155 mm)
Modules. A Carrier Board can be designed to handle more than one Module size by placing
Carrier Board mounting holes at the appropriate locations for each Module size that will be
supported. For example, a Carrier Board designed for Basic-sized Modules could provide
additionally the one mounting hole, unique for Compact-sized Modules, to allow that size. The
necessary standoffs can then be populated if applicable.
