The 38002-0000 series from Kontron AG is a lineup of ETX Express modules equipped with different processor modules (PM modules). These modules are designed to be used as expansion boards for industrial motherboards, offering flexibility in CPU selection and system customization. They show up in a variety of embedded systems where compact, high-performance computing is required but with the need for adaptability in processing power.

If you're working on projects that require a balance between form factor and performance, these modules are a great choice. One thing worth noting is their modular design, which allows for easy upgrades and maintenance without needing to replace the entire motherboard. Engineers tend to reach for this when they need a solution that can handle specific tasks efficiently but might change requirements over time. Another practical benefit is their compatibility with a wide range of motherboards, making them a versatile addition to your embedded system toolkit.
