2.13 MPCI-L2 series module installation
MPCI-L2 series modules are fully compliant with the 52-pin PCI Express Full-Mini Card Type F2 form factor, i.e.,
top-side and bottom-side keep-out areas, 50.95 mm nominal length, 30 mm nominal width, and all the other
dimensions as defined by the PCI Express Mini Card Electromechanical Specification [15], except for the card
thickness (which nominal value is 3.7 mm), as described in Figure 72.

It is recommended to use the two mounting holes described in Figure 72 to fix (ground) the MPCI-L2
module to the main ground of the application board with suitable screws and fasteners.
Follow the recommendations provided by the connector manufacturer and the guidelines available in the
PCI Express Mini Card Electromechanical Specification [15] for the development of the footprint (i.e. the
copper mask) PCB layout for the mating edge system connector. The exact geometries, distances and
stencil thicknesses should be adapted to the specific production processes (e.g. soldering etc.).
Follow the recommendations provided by the connector manufacturer to properly insert and remove the
MPCI-L2 series modules.
