Amphenol CS Cool Edge 1.00mm PCIe connectors

Cool Edge PCIe^® connectors bring high speed PCIe^® support into a one-piece card edge package with 16GT/s Gen. 4 and 32GT/s Gen. 5 capabilities. Slim connector design saves space on the motherboard while facilitating other higher density applications. These connectors come with a simple housing design with an overall reduced footprint, providing additional benefits over standard PCIe^® CEM solutions. The conductive plastic design of these connectors provides enhanced signal integrity. The contact pads extend outwards from housing making inspection easier.
