82 MiniCore RCM5600W
The SMT connectors are ideal in a development environment, where the latch connector
facilitates swapping RCM5600W MiniCore modules as development progresses. The
absence of holes also maximizes trace routing flexibility on the printed circuit board. The
standoff option offers better vibration resistance and grounding once you are ready to
deploy your application based on the RCM5600W.
