The MicroTCA system is based around the AdvancedMC Mezzanine Card standard.
The MicroTCA system architecture allows the AdvancedMC mezzanine card to
be plugged directly into the MicroTCA backplane. So the AdvancedMC mezzanine can be used with out a carrier card and plugs directly into a MicroTCA backplane [shelf]. Other standards like the ATCA use the AdvancedMC board as a mezzanine card being plugged
onto a ATCA carrier card.
MicroTCA eliminates the carrier card altogether. AMC modules plug straight into the MicroTCA chassis
The AMC module contains 170 gold plated pads which are inserted into a right-angle mounted female connector mounted onto the MicroTCA backplane. Each AMC module has its own face plate attached to the board, and a card ejector.
MTCA.0 MicroTCA Specification; July 2006
This is the first release of the specification.

The MicroTCA board Pinout is the same as the AMC pinout. The backplane however holds more than just AMC boards, and also accepts power supply modules.
Pin Grouping and functions;
Management Power; 1 pin
Payload Power; 8 pins
Fabric; 84 pins
Sync Clock; 6 pins
System Management; 8 pins
Ground; 56 pins
JTAG; 5 pins
Reserved; 2 pins
The electrical interfaces may include; PCI Express, Advanced Switching, Serial RapidIO, and Gigabit Ethernet. Of course the
pinout is defined in the specification, but not yet listed here. The
JTAG interface is also included as part of
the I/O interface.
Signal chip solutions or ASIC parts may be listed on this
page.

The card side connector are plated pads on the PWB [male]. The board side uses a female (Right-Angle).

MicroTCA Chassis are design to hold the Advanced Mezzanine Cards (AdvancedMC) module. A 19 inch rack mount MicroTCA chassis with 2 redundant power entry modules can hold up to 11 AdvancedMC. MicroTCA Chassis manufacturers {This Site}
The MicroTCA platform uses the Advanced Mezzanine Card standard as the card type. The Advanced Mezzanine Card [AMC] was developed first as a Mezzanine Bus. There are two basic types of AMC board sizes; the single width module, 73.5mm x 181.5mm and a double width module, 148.5 x 181.5mm. These module may also be found as half-height and full height modules. This page link provides a list of MicroTCA Card manufacturers and vendors.{This Site}
