Amphenol CS Minitek® 12VHPWR connector system

Amphenol CS introduces the Gen 5, Minitek® 12VHPWR connector system. This new introduction CEM 5.0 PCI Express® 12V-2x6 auxiliary power connector and cable assembly support the 600W GPU cards. The 12V-2x6 auxiliary power connector is not designed to mate with legacy PCI Express® 2x3 and 2x4 12V Auxiliary Power connectors. The 12VHPWR connector power pins have a 3.00mm pitch, while the contacts in a legacy 2x3 and 2x4 connector lie on a larger 4.20mm pitch. New PCIe® Connector System (CEM5) is designed for power applications with current rating up to 9.5A/pin (12 pins energized) and the 4 signal pins supporting signal transmission.
