2.8 Module Connector
Two Hirose FX10 168-pin 0.5 mm pitch headers with a total of 336 pins have to be integrated on the base
board. Up to four M3 screws may be used to mechanically fasten the module to the base board. Do not
use excessive force to tighten the screws, as this could damage the module.
The pinout of the module connector is found in the Mercury Master Pinout Excel Sheet [11]. The connector
is available in different packaging options and different stacking heights. Some examples are presented in
Table 5. Please refer to the connector datasheet for more information.
