The AcroPack is 19.05mm longer than the full length mini PCIe card at
50.95mm. It has the same mPCIe board width of 30mm and uses the same
mPCIe standard board hold down standoff and screw keep out areas.
The AP231 is a 16-bit, high-density, single-width AcroPack module, with the
capability to drive up to 16 analog voltage output channels. The AP231
utilizes state of the art Surface-Mounted Technology (SMT) to achieve its
high channel density and is an ideal choice for a wide range of industrial
control and monitor applications that require high-density, high-reliability,
and high-performance at a low cost.

Note 1
: Applications requiring operating temperatures of 70°C to 85°C will
require purchase of AcroPack Heatsink Accessory AP-CC-01 and minimum
airflow of 400LFM. For temperatures below 70°C the module will require a
minimal airflow of 200LFM
