CoreExpress

<h2 id="size-and-mechanics">Size and mechanics</h2>
<p>The specification defines a board size of 58 mm × 65 mm, slightly smaller than a <a href="/facts/Credit_card/7pKSB5LD">credit card</a> and small enough to allow a carrier board in standard <a href="/facts/PC/104/qYlwqJ4N">PC/104-Plus</a> format.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11"><sup>11</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12"><sup>12</sup></a>
</p><p>The module can be embedded into a <a href="/facts/Heat_spreader/LnVok7d5">heat spreader</a>, which distributes the component-generated heat onto a larger surface area. In low power applications, this distribution may be enough for complete thermal <a href="/facts/Dissipation/C134STy1">dissipation</a>.
</p><p>In higher power applications, the heat spreader presents a thermal interface for mating to additional heat <a href="/facts/Dissipation/C134STy1">dissipating</a> components such as finned <a href="/facts/Heat_sink/ccIEdHnq">heat sinks</a>. Heat spreaders are simpler and more rugged to connect to than the heat generating components underneath. This simplifies mechanical design for the system builder, but can be less efficient than a complete purpose-built thermal solution.
</p><p>In a complete system, heat spreaders can be part of the <a href="/facts/Electromagnetic_interference/gv3DlKNr">electromagnetic interference</a> containment design.
</p>
