VersaLogic Corp has introduced a new line of rugged M.2 modules engineered to provide reliable connectivity for embedded systems operating under harsh conditions. The expansion series is designed specifically for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and system integrators who require high-performance peripheral support within extremely small form factors.
The new lineup includes four distinct module options to address various interface requirements. These consist of a single-port Gigabit Ethernet module with onboard magnetics, a dual-port Gigabit Ethernet version, a dual-port Serial and GPIO module, and a dual CAN Bus module. To ensure reliability in demanding sectors such as defense, transportation, and industrial automation, the modules are rated for full operation across the industrial temperature range of -40° to +85°C.
In addition to thermal resilience, the modules are built to withstand physical stress, meeting MIL-STD-202H standards for shock and vibration. The compact boards utilize different M.2 keys and lengths, including 2242 and 2280 form factors, allowing for flexible integration into modern embedded architectures where space is at a premium.
“Customers can now easily add more connectivity features to embedded systems with reliable, full-performance M.2 modules designed for industrial temperature applications (-40° to +85°C),” said Len Crane, VersaLogic President. “These compact M.2 expansion boards prioritize thermal management and operate flawlessly across the entire industrial temperature range.”
VersaLogic focuses on providing industrial connectivity and embedded computing solutions that maintain high performance even when exposed to environmental extremes. These latest additions to their catalog aim to simplify the process of scaling system capabilities without compromising the ruggedness of the overall hardware deployment.
