Product/Service

The CompactFlash Adapter provides a low cost, rugged, and flexible means to add a socket for CompactFlash removable-media solid state disk (SSD) cards to systems based on Ampro embedded-PCs. CompactFlash cards have a system interface that is electrically and functionally identical to that of normal (magnetic media) IDE hard disk drives, with the result that they are fully supported by all operating systems and application programs.

For maximum system configuration flexibility, the CompactFlash Adapter is offered in two versions: one having a 40-pin, 0.1-inch IDE connector for direct cabling to an Ampro Little Board™ IDE interface; the other with a 44-pin, 2mm IDE connector for direct cabling to an Ampro CoreModule™ IDE interface. Any convenient cable length, up to 18 inches, may be used between the adapter and the embedded-PC module.

The CompactFlash Adapter's four mounting holes support rigid attachment to an embedded system's boards or chassis. Additionally, a special retaining clip can be used to securely lock the CompactFlash card into its socket.
