In many production facilities the regular main board is used for testing of COM Express modules. The modules are plugged into the usual COM Express connectors. Due to the limited number of mating cycles of the COM Express connectors, the main boards have to be replaced after 30 to 40 test cycles. The replacement of the 220 pin connector with a pitch of 0.5 mm is considered as very difficult and unreliable.
