Just as the PC/104 standard allows a wide range of choices for creating a variety of system-level configurations, designers of board-level solutions and sub-system modules also need to be aware of different choices about how best to implement the PC/104 connectors on their products.
One of the key opportunity areas for improving quality, cost and production efficiency is using either solderless or self-soldering interconnects - both for the PC/104 bus connectors and others, such as the I/O edge-mount connectors typically found on most PC/104 assemblies.
