67 contact PCIe M2 Gen 3 and Gen 4 Card Edge Connector Amphenol MDT420E03001 for storage applications
Product Overview
Amphenol ICC's PCIe M.2 Gen 3 and Gen 4 Card Edge Connectors offer a high-density, high-performance solution for modern storage and server applications. These connectors feature 67 contacts on a 0.50mm pitch, providing superior board space efficiency and higher data rates compared to PCIe Mini Card connectors. Designed for PCIe 3.0, USB 3.0, and SATA 3.0, they are ideal for tablets, laptops, and low-profile storage and server systems. Supporting both single and double-sided modules, these connectors enable higher data rates and offer design flexibility with various height and keying options, including right-angle and vertical orientations. They are fully compliant with PCI-SIG PCIe M.2 specifications and are upgradable to Gen 4 (16Gb/s) with backward compatibility to Gen 3.
