Green PCB development board with 40-pin GPIO header and CM5 socket

LORDWORLD

LORDWORLD Mini Base Board (A) for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 development board

SKU CH-52VB-D159G

Compact base board with standard CM5 socket and 40-pin GPIO for evaluating or integrating Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 Lite and eMMC modules

  • Credit-card footprint fits tight enclosures
  • Standard CM5 socket accepts Lite and eMMC modules
  • Colour-coded 40-pin GPIO header speeds wiring
  • On-board connectors reduce external cabling
  • Ready for evaluation or end-product integration

Mini Base Board for CM5 Evaluation

This compact carrier board accepts a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 and breaks out its interfaces for development. It targets engineers who need a small platform to test CM5 firmware or to embed the module inside a finished product.

Upgrade from Breadboard Wiring

The board replaces ad-hoc wiring looms and generic breakout boards that developers often assemble by hand. The jump is worth it when a repeatable, credit-card sized platform with a standard CM5 socket and colour-coded 40-pin GPIO header reduces bring-up time.

Straightforward Socket Installation

The CM5 module presses vertically into the keyed socket and locks without tools. What usually goes wrong is misaligning the high-density connector pins or applying uneven pressure, which can bend contacts on the module or the carrier.

Questions about this item

What cut-out and standoff pattern does the credit-card sized board need for enclosure mounting?

The board matches a credit card footprint; drill mounting holes to that outline and leave clearance for the 40-pin GPIO header and the CM5 socket on the underside.

What is the correct orientation when seating a Compute Module 5 into the onboard socket?

Align the module's connector with the standard CM5 socket, press firmly until the latches click, and verify the 40-pin GPIO header sits facing the same direction as the module's label side.

Which onboard connectors or sockets are most likely to wear out and need replacement after repeated module swaps?

The standard CM5 socket and the 40-pin GPIO header endure the most insertion cycles; keep spares of both if you plan frequent Compute Module 5 changes.
