Maximize Service Life Performance

• PC/104 modules are inherently MIL-spec worthy as their connectors and small footprint limit board flex and provide excellent performance in high shock and vibration environments.
• Apex PC104 product are always wide operating temperature (-40C to +85C or better).
• Standard and optional assembly methods provide tin mitigation and/or conformal coat to greatly extend product service lifetime.
• We provide long +10 year life on and our modules go through design revision every 7 to 10 years to extend production life cycles with super-set firmware growth. The STX104 analog I/O and Tracer DIO modules have been in production for 22 years.
• We minimize component count to maximize MTBF ratings.
• Standard and optional assembly methods provide tin mitigation and/or conformal coat to greatly extend product service lifetime.
• Do not use any electrolytic or tantalum capacitors to avoid outgassing and fire hazards.

Maximize User Experience

• Polarized 4-wall shrouded connectors to avoid incorrect connections with mating ribbon cables. Optional 2mm Harwin connectors to provide extreme rugged connectivity.
• LED communication status to more rapidly determine PC104 communication
• Apex can provide customization even for quantity one! Tell us your requirements!
• Apex offers long term legacy support of PC104 product for industrial and aerospace.
