PCI Express Vertical Card Edge Connector Amphenol 10018784-10212TLF Supporting 8Gbps Data Transfer Rates
Product Overview
FCI's 1.0mm pitch vertical card edge connectors are designed to support all generations of PCI Express signaling, enabling data transfer rates up to 8.0Gb/s per differential signal pair for next-generation systems. These connectors are suitable for desktop PCs, workstations, and servers, offering various link widths (x1, x4, x8, x16) to meet diverse bandwidth requirements. The product line includes options for through-hole solder, press-fit, surface-mount, and straddle-mount terminations, providing flexibility for different manufacturing processes and PCB thicknesses. Specialized versions like ExpressModule connectors with expanded lead-in windows are available for blind-mate server applications, and integrated retention arms offer secure graphics card mounting. These connectors are compliant with PCI Express Card Electromechanical Specification and PCI Express Module Electromechanical Specification.
