  • Page 23: Mechanical Dimensions

    Mechanical Dimensions Compact module 2.9.1 There are two height options defined in the COM Express specification: 5mm and 8mm. The height option is defined by the connectors on the baseboard. The modules with Atom APL-I CPUs are equipped with an integrated heat spreader.
  • Page 24: Thermal Specifications

    2.10 Thermal specifications The cooling solution of a COM Express module is based on a heat- spreader concept. A heat-spreader is a metal plate (typically aluminum) mounted on the top of the module. The connection between this plate and the module components is typically done by thermal interface materials like phase change foils, gap pads and copper or aluminum blocks.
  • Page 25: Use Conditions

    2.11 Use Conditions The Use Conditions define run-time parameters such as the operating mode (eg. 24/7), activity factor, max frequency, temperature range etc. for the target application. Certain Use Conditions may have an effect on the lifetime of the product. For industrial use cases where longer lifetime and higher activity factors may be required, processor manufacturers may recommend to limit the performance of the processing units.
