Amphenol FCI PCIe Gen 2 Card Edge Connectors

Amphenol FCI PCI Express® (PCIe) Gen 2 Card Edge Connectors enable PCIe signaling from 5Gb/s per differential signal pair. The base connector family provides x1, x4, x8, or x16 link widths to suit different bandwidth requirements. The series supports I/O cards (x1), server I/O (x4 and x8), and higher bandwidth, such as graphics and riser cards (x16). Amphenol FCI PCIe Gen 2 Card Edge Connectors enable all generations of PCI Express signaling in desktop PCs, workstations, and servers.

Features

  • Enables PCIe signaling from 5Gb/s per differential signal pair
  • Connector range offers x1, x4, x8, or x16 serial PCIe links for different bandwidth requirements
  • Through-hole solder, press-fit, surface-mount, or straddle-mount termination
  • Press-fit version provides solderless alternative for termination to thick PCBs
  • Larger 200, 230 (x24), and 280-position vertical connectors supply more lanes for server riser cards
  • ExpressModule™ versions provide an expanded lead-in window for blind-mate server applications
  • Straddle-mount connectors feature mounting ears for additional mechanical support and molded post to ensure proper alignment to host PCB
  • Options for rugged stand-alone retention mechanism or x16 connector with integrated retention arm to secure graphics cards during shipping and handling
  • RoHS-compliant connectors available

Applications

  • Data
  • Industrial
  • Instrumentation
