COM Express Modules
Standardized Computer-on-Module Platform
COM Express defines standard sizes and pin layouts for Computer-on-Modules. Each module includes processor, memory, graphics, storage and high-speed connections. In addition, a carrier board provides the I/O ports and other connections needed for the application.
Â
Portwell offers COM Express Type 6, Type 7 and Type 10 Modules for industrial, embedded and edge computing.
COM Express Form Factors
Portwell COM Express Modules come in three standard sizes:
- Mini: 84 × 55 mm
- Compact: 95 × 95 mm
- Basic: 125 × 95 mm

COM Express Modules for Industrial and Embedded Computing
Standardized Computer-on-Module Platform
COM Express is an open standard that defines standardized form factors and pinout layouts for Computer-on-Modules. Each module integrates the essential computing elements such as processor, memory and core I/O interfaces into a single board, while a separate carrier board handles application-specific connectivity and expansion.
Â
Portwell’s COM Express lineup spans Type 6, Type 7 and Type 10 modules, designed for industrial, embedded and edge computing applications.
COM Express Form Factors
Portwell’s COM Express lineup is available in three standardized form factors:
- Mini: 84 × 55 mm
- Compact:95 × 95 mm
- Basic:125 × 95 mm

COM-HPC
Computer On Module – High-Performance Computing
Â
COM-HPC is a high-performance expansion card for servers. It uses the same concept as COM Express but increases the connectors from 440 pins to 800 pins to support more expansions and improves the speed of the I/O interface with PCIe Gen 4 or Gen 5 (32GT/s), USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 (20Gbps) or USB 4 (40Gbps), and 25G KR signals. COM-HPC has two module types: Server and Client.
COM-HPC Server: Provide superior computing performance and enhanced network throughput.
COM-HPC Client: Support comprehensive high-speed I/O interface.Â
COM-HPC is the perfect choice for server applications. It provides up to 65 PCIe and 8 KR Ethernet lanes, making it ideal for connecting servers and other devices. And it also features a CPU with a TDP of up to 150W, so you can get the performance you need.
