The Elecrow M.2 (NGFF) Breakout Board (Key-M Connector) is a versatile tool designed for M.2 cards. It is compatible with all keys and form factors, including 2230, 2242, 2260, 3030, 3042, and 3060.

The board was initially developed to facilitate the use of dual-channel LoRa M.2 radios in an Industrial Safety Internet of Things (IIoT) project. The idea was to create a solution that would allow these radios to be disconnected from their baseboards and connected to a PC for debugging purposes. Given the small pitch of M.2 connectors, soldering flying leads proved to be a challenge, hence the creation of this breakout board.

While the board may not seem extraordinary, its practicality is undeniable. It can accommodate any connector to support any key (A B E or M). All connectors are broken out in pairs, although the board does not have controlled impedance.

Please note that the board does not have controlled impedance.
