Amphenol CS PCI Express® Gen 4 and Gen 5 card edge connectors

PCIe® Gen 4 and Gen 5 connectors outperform industry standards PCIe® 4.0 and 5.0 (proposed) that require higher speed performance. The optimized series supports backwards mating and is footprint compatible with PCIe 3/2/1.

These 1.00mm pitch, vertical and right angle card edge connectors enable all generations of PCI Express® signaling in desktop PCs, workstations, and servers. The connector designs support 2.5GT/s (Gen 1), 5.0GT/s (Gen 2), 8.0GT/s (Gen 3) and the recent upgrade to 16GT/s (Gen 4), even further to 32GT/s (Gen 5) per differential signal pair.

Amphenol CS’s expansive range of vertical PCIe® Gen 4 and Gen 5 connectors will include options for surface mount (SMT), through hole solder, press-fit (PF) and straddle mount terminations.
