Amphenol CS Minitek® Pwr CEM-5 PCIe® connector system

Amphenol CS introduces the Gen 5, Minitek® Pwr PCIe® connector system. This new introduction CEM 5.0 PCI Express® 12VHPWR auxiliary hybrid connector and cable assembly support the 600W GPU cards. The 12VHPWR connector is not designed to mate with legacy PCI Express® 2x3 and 2x4 12V auxiliary power connectors. The 12VHPWR connector power pins have a 3mm pitch, while the contacts in a legacy 2x3 and 2x4 connector lie on a larger 4.2mm pitch. New PCIe® connector system (CEM5) is designed for power applications with current rating upto 9.5A/pin (12 pins energized) and the 4 signal pins supporting signal transmission.

• Rated current up to 9.5A per contact with all 12 power contacts and 4 Signal contacts
• Fully isolated terminals
• Positive locking on housing with low thumb latch operation
• Low level contact resistance: 6mΩ max.
