PC/104
PC/104 is an industry standard
board form factor used by huge number of board producers and system integrators involved in
defense equipment, industrial and machine control systems and specialized research projects.
The diverse range of host CPU boards and add-on cards enables system builders to source and
integrate almost any functionality from simple serial cards to specialized MIL-STD-1553 and
video compression cards. The PC/104 family of platform specifications is managed by the
PC/104 Consortium and embraces the
PC/104, PC/104-Plus, PCI-104 and PCI/104-Express specifications.
PC/104 is based on a rigid system of vertically stacked boards using reliable pin and socket
connectors and is particularly popular for ruggedized, long-life projects. AMP's owner and
Technical Director, Lee Foss is an Executive Board Member of the PC/104 Consortium and has continued
to expand the range of AMP products to embrace all the PC/104 standards. The company now
offers a broad range of PC/104, PC/104-Plus, PCI-104 and PCI/104-Express boards for embedded video
