Vertical PCI Express Card Edge Connector Amphenol 10018784-10202TLF Supporting PCIe Gen1 Gen2 Gen3 Signaling
Product Overview
FCI's 1.0mm pitch, vertical PCI Express card edge connectors are designed to support all generations of PCI Express signaling, enabling differential signaling up to 8.0Gb/s for next-generation desktop PCs, workstations, and servers. These connectors offer support for 2.5Gb/s (Gen1), 5.0Gb/s (Gen2), and 8.0Gb/s (Gen3) per differential signal pair. Available in x1, x4, x8, and x16 link widths, they cater to diverse bandwidth requirements, from single PCI Express lanes for I/O cards to high-bandwidth applications like graphics cards and server riser cards. Termination options include through-hole solder, press-fit, surface-mount, and straddle-mount, providing flexibility for various manufacturing processes. Specialized versions like ExpressModule offer expanded lead-in windows for blind-mate server applications, and integrated retention arms ensure graphics card security. These connectors are compliant with industry standards and are suitable for data communications, industrial applications, and SHB Express backplanes.
