New PCI Express Connectors Edge Into Tight Spaces
ERNI Electronics introduces right-angled card edge connectors designed
for use in space critical applications
ADELBERG, GERMANY - October 15, 2008 - ERNI Electronics is offering a new 1mm centerline PCI Express (PCIe) connector family that includes X1 (36 pins), X4 (64 pins), X8 (98 pins) and X16 (164 pins) right-angled connectors. These card edge connectors are designed to meet the requirements of PCI Express architectures that call for a high performance point-to-point full duplex I/O Bus connector. While most PCI Express connectors available in the market are vertical, the new ERNI PCIe connectors are right-angled, which is ideal for solving space problems in applications where low clearance above the PCB prohibits the use of vertical configurations.
ERNI right-angled PCIe connectors provide board-to-board distances ranging from 5.84mm to 16.68mm, and are compatible with 1.6mm to 2.4mm thick motherboards and 1.6mm thick daughter cards. These robust PCIe connectors are available in 3 stack heights of 5.84mm, 11.17mm and 16.68mm, and are equipped with molded polarization keys to prevent improper insertion of the daughter cards. The connectors provide solder termination with a termination length of 2.54mm.
The PCIe connector layout is arranged in a 4-row format with 2mm pitch and the provision of 2 holes for locater pegs. This enables the connector to be securely assembled and easy soldered through a lead-free wave soldering process.
Each serial link supports 2.5Gb/s (per direction) in 100W Gen1 systems. The connectors, which are available in black and in tray packaging, are ideal for use in many applications, including servers, workstations, desktop PCs (replaces AGP) and storage applications.
The price for PCI Express (PCIe) R/A, X1, 36 position starts at $6.28 in volume. For more information or to download our catalog, please visit the ERNI Website at www.erni.com.
