PCI Express Mini Card (also known as Mini PCI Express, Mini PCIe, and mPCIe), based on PCI Express, is a replacement for the Mini PCI form factor, supporting both PCI Express and USB 2.0
connectivity. Each card may use either standard. Mini PCIe modules provide an economical and standardised way to add
I/O and storage functions to embedded computer products. Unlike typical
expansion boards, Mini PCIe allows additional functions to be added to a
system with almost no increase in overall package size.
MiniPCIe cards are 30mm × 50.95mm. There is a 52-pin edge connector,
consisting of two staggered rows on a 0.8 mm pitch, and each row has eight
contacts, a gap equivalent to four contacts, then a further 18 contacts. The PCB itself has a thickness of just 1mm, excluding the components.
VersaLogic's new MiniPCIe modules are all
designed for high reliability in demanding environments. They are all
rated for operation across the full industrial temperature range (-40º to
+85ºC), and for high shock and vibration (MIL-STD-202G).
VersaLogic's Mini PCIe modules are RoHS compliant and include
VersaLogic's renowned 5+ year product life guarantee for long lifecycle
applications. Customisation options include conformal coating, IPC Class
3 assembly, application-specific testing, BOM revision locks, etc.

The latest product to join the MiniPCIe family is the VL-MPEe-V5 - a video expansion module which provides an easy and economical way to add VGA and LVDS display outputs to an embedded computing solution.
The VL-MPEe-V5 is compatible with a variety of popular x86 operating systems including Windows, Windows Embedded, and Linux.
Pricing starts at $218 for up to 49pcs.
