VITA 42 XMC is a widely deployed mezzanine Standard used in high-reliability computers implementing switched-fabric architectures. XMC combines PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) with serial fabric technology on proven mezzanine form-factors.

In 2017, VITA updated XMC’s base specification to recommend solderball connectors. Original parts employed Paste-On-Pad attachment, while recommended parts utilize modern solderball technology.
