Amphenol CS PCI Express Gen 4 and Gen 5 connectors

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

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

Amphenol'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.
