PC104 is a specification that was accepted as the “base document” for the IEEE draft standard, called the P996.1 Standard for Compact Embedded-PC Modules. The PC104 standard expands upon the existing PC bus allowing companies that embed PC technology in limited space applications to have a standardized system architecture as well as a broader range of vendors and vendor support.
There are two ways to use PC104 Modules: as standalone module stacks and as component-like applications. Standalone module stacks are self-nesting and are spaced at .600” apart while the PC104 connector can also function as a highly integrated component. The standard specifies 104 pins: 64 for the P1 and 40 for the P2.

PC104 - ESQ
The base PC104 Standard defines a compact form-factor that can be used in self-stacking buses. This eliminates the cost and bulk of backplanes and card cages.
Samtec’s ESQ Product follows the PC104 standard. The ESQ Product is available in multiple positions, rows, and stack heights (low insertion force contacts are also available).
