The design guide suggests that this module should utilize spacers of 4.2mm in length. Of course, this is approximate as it is up to the end user to define the exact mounting height based on their application. However, 4mm will certainly not work due to the tolerances, and when I tested with 5mm it did not work either. It is pretty much impossible to find standard parts of lengths between 4mm and 5mm. Custom parts that I’ve found require qty 10000 MOQ. What does NVIDIA expect us to do for production installations of this module if the bottom plate design throws us into such a void in the market?

The question is related to the Jetson AGX Orin module, but the provided context is about the Jetson Orin NX and Jetson Orin Nano Series. However, I will try to provide a helpful answer based on the given information.
The question mentions that the design guide suggests using spacers of a certain length, but the exact length is not specified in the provided context. However, it is mentioned that the Jetson Orin module is installed in a SODIMM connector which has latching mechanisms to hold the board in place, and it is required to mount the module to the main carrier board PCB using metal standoffs and screws (or equivalent).
The question also mentions that the bottom plate design requires a specific length of spacers, which is not readily available in the market, and custom parts require a minimum order quantity of 10,000.
Based on the provided context, it seems that the Jetson Orin NX and Jetson Orin Nano Series modules have a similar design and installation requirements. However, the exact length of the spacers required for the Jetson AGX Orin module is not specified.
To answer the question, I would suggest the following:
- Check the design guide for the Jetson AGX Orin module to see if it specifies the exact length of the spacers required.
- If the exact length is not specified, it may be necessary to contact NVIDIA support or a authorized distributor to get more information on the recommended spacer length.
- If custom parts are required, it may be necessary to work with a supplier to design and manufacture custom spacers that meet the specific requirements of the Jetson AGX Orin module.
- It may also be worth exploring alternative mounting options or designs that do not require custom spacers.
In summary, while the provided context does not provide a direct answer to the question, it suggests that the Jetson Orin NX and Jetson Orin Nano Series modules have similar design and installation requirements, and that the exact length of the spacers required for the Jetson AGX Orin module may need to be specified by NVIDIA or a authorized distributor.

My information and the context I provided comes directly from the ‘Jetson AGX Orin Series Modules Design Guide’. The answer does not really help me as I already understand that buying 10000 custom spacers would solve the issue. I also already understand that the ideal mounting height is 4.2mm, we’d likely be okay up to 4.5 or 4.6mm, and that 5.0mm is too tall due to the difficulty of installation and the failed testing I observed.
It’s disappointing to be in this situation when the bottom plate design could have easily been designed to allow for standard size PCB spacers. I think I’ll have to go with 4mm tall and hope that the board flex does not become an issue.
Spacers height depends on your mechanical design stack up tolerances. Please follow the design guide requirements. You could check with your local market/suppliers and will need to decide what works best for your design without flexing the module PCB.
