Triple Insertion Module Method
• Step 1:
Move the module against the housing’s chamber
• Step 2:
Rotate the module to 25 degrees and insert it until the bottom of the
module surface reaches the ramp
• Step 3:
Rotate the module to horizontal position by hand
• Step 4:
Fix the module with a PCB screw to secure the module
Please refer to the application specification for a complete description of both the insertion and removal
method for modules.

Single-Sided Module
The difference between single and dual-sided modules is functionality. All soldered down type module cards are
single-sided and do not have a pin layout. Single-sided modules are intended to be used in low profile applications.
There are two type of module cards, soldered down and connectorized. TE’s M.2 (NGFF) product line supports the
connectorized modules/ add-in cards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have you considered using M.2 in applications where you currently use PCI express Mini Card connectors?
M.2 was designed to meet both the current and future market needs. M.2 saves approximately 20% of PCB real
estate, reduces connector height by 15%, and supports enhanced data rates compared to PCIe Mini Card connectors.
What standards and data rates are required by your application?
M.2 can support next generation data rates which include PCIe 3.0, SATA 3.0 and USB 3.0. As the market moves
towards enhanced data rates, TE Connectivity is leading the market to take advantage of enhanced data rates.
What functionality will your module card provide and how do I know which key is required by my application?
TE’s M.2 connectors are designed to support all 12 keys from A to M. Choosing the appropriate key depends on the
module card that you will be using. It is important to note that there are no dual key M.2 connectors but TE’s M.2
connectors can support dual key modules.
Is the module / add-in card either single or double-sided?
M.2 connectors support both single and double-sided module cards. However, if your application requires doublesided module / mobile add-in cards, the 3.2H, 4.2H and Midplane products can support this need.
What are the height constraints in your application?
If your application has a height constraint, TE understands your challenges. In order to support the growing need
for slimmer solutions, TE provides a very low profile, 2.25mm height top mount SMT connector, as well as an offset
Midplane connector that measures 1.80mm from the PCB to the top of the connector.
