M53 is based on the popular MXM connector which is also used in a large number of "X86" embedded SOMs based on the QSeven Specification. Being a small sized and highly integrated System On Module that can be used in a design application much like an integrated circuit component it uses a 230 pin MXM2 SMT edge connector to connect all power and signal lanes to the carrier board. This connector is available from multiple vendors at different heights (5.5 mm and 7.8 mm).
