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

5.4 COM Express Form Factors

COM Express specifies four form factors, as well as seven different types of connector

pinouts. The four form factors are referred to as Mini, Compact, Basic and Extended. The

Mini and Compact modules are targeted in mobile system and applications. The Mini

module footprint is 84mm x 55mm while the Compact module footprint is 95mm x 95mm.

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.
