Triple Insertion Module Method
• Step 1:
• Step 2:
• Step 3:
• Step 4:
Move the module against the housing’s chamber
Rotate the module to 25 degrees and insert it until the bottom of the
module surface reaches the ramp
Rotate the module to horizontal position by hand
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. Note that midplane type product has a different method compared to the standard
top mount product.

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.
