The industrial AI edge gateway supports expansion of AI accelerator cards via M.2 MXM slots. These pluggable modules face hot-swapping surges and ESD risks. The slot power pins should be equipped with a TVS P4SMF 5.0A and connected in series with a self-resetting fuse (SMD2920-050-60V). The PCIe data cable of the SMD2920-050-60V slot requires an ESD diode array (ESD0524P), with a 0.5V turn-off voltage of 5.0V and a 0.8pF junction capacitance across four channels. Simultaneously, the module casing is connected to the housing with low resistance via conductive springs. Actual testing showed no damage after 20,000 insertion/removal cycles with ESD ±15kV and a 100% module recognition rate.
