NVIDIA Orin NX – Query on using low stacked height connector for custom board

Hi team,

We are planning to use the low-profile connector (PN: 2309409-1) to connect with Orin NX SOM on our custom board. The connector has a stacked height of 5.2mm, a centerline height of 3.3mm (PCB to SOM PCB center) when using 2.5mm SOM standoffs. Could you please confirm whether the selected connector is compatible with the Orin NX SOM and can be used in our custom board design.

Thanks

The question is about the compatibility of a low-profile connector with the Orin NX SOM on a custom board. However, the provided context does not specifically mention the Orin NX SOM’s connector requirements or specifications.

Based on the given context, we can only provide general information about the Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit, which consists of a P3701 System on Module (SOM) connected to a P3737 carrier board. The SOM and carrier board each have an EEPROM where the board ID is saved. The SOM can be used without any software configuration modifications.

The context also mentions that the SOM sold for incorporation with customer products has a Thermal Transfer Plate (TTP) ready to accept a customer-provided thermal solution. However, this information is related to the thermal solution, not the connector compatibility.

To confirm the compatibility of the selected connector with the Orin NX SOM, we would need more specific information about the connector’s specifications and the Orin NX SOM’s requirements. It is recommended to refer to the Jetson Orin NX Series Product Design Guide or consult with the manufacturer’s documentation for more detailed information.

In general, when selecting a connector for a custom board design, it is essential to ensure that the connector meets the requirements of the SOM, including the stacked height, centerline height, and PCB to SOM PCB center when using SOM standoffs. It is also crucial to verify that the connector is compatible with the SOM’s electrical and mechanical specifications.

To provide a more comprehensive answer, we would need more information about the specific connector and the Orin NX SOM’s requirements. If you have any additional details or context, please provide them, and we will do our best to assist you.

That sounds like it could work. You can contact TE Connectivity for confirmation with that connector PN.
