9.1.2 Connectorized Hybrid Key E (2230) pin-out
The M.2 socket with the Hybrid Key E scheme is intended to be used with a proprietary pinout. This
scheme is called “Hybrid Key E” due to the mechanical similarity to a Key E connector and the ability
to support both Companion RF and discrete modules. When designing a motherboard with this
scheme, one can have the same M.2 socket supporting three (3) different connectivity cards:
(1) CNVi Companion RF module (CRF)
(2) Standard M.2 discrete module (Discrete), and
(3) WiGiG/Wi-Fi combo module (Combo) – N/A for 2017 products
The ability to swap between these three cards on the same M.2 socket while using the same
motherboard design is an important feature desired by PC platform OEMs.
When designing the motherboard M.2 socket and routing according the Hybrid Key E scheme, and
subject to certain assumptions that will be defined later, the following basic properties are
guaranteed:
• Inserting any one of the three optional cards (Namely CRF, Discrete and Combo) to the M.2
socket will be safe (meaning no damage to the motherboard or card will occur).
• All 3 options can be used and will function as desired, subject to the following
1. For CNVi: No restrictions apply
