PCIe® M.2 Gen 5 Card Edge Connectors
Amphenol's PCIe® M.2 Gen 5 Connectors provide 67 contacts on 0.50mm pitch. It occupies less board space, offers more connector height options, and supports higher data rates compared to PCIe® Mini Card connector. It is designed for PCIe® Gen 5, making it suitable for tablets, laptops, and low-profile storage and server applications.
PCI Express® Gen 4 and Gen 5 Card Edge 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 backward mating and is footprint compatible with PCIe 3/2/1. Amphenol's expansive range of vertical PCIe® Gen 4 and Gen 5 connectors will include options for SMT, through-hole solder, press-fit (PF), and straddle mount terminations.
PCS
The PCS Series are versatile, high-current, mixed density connectors with low contact resistance. It remains an industry-leading power connector in the market. Options for one, two, or three contact rows provide flexibility in selection and high conductivity contacts are available to maximize current density. Other options - sequential mating, integrated locking latch, and press-fit contacts.
Perma-Tap® Power Cable Assembly
Perma-Tap® power cable assembly saves space and reduces cost. The wires can be cut, stripped, and terminated to customer-specific lengths. The connector is press-fit to a PCB to provide a compact and secure power delivery solution. A permanent connection between a cable and a PCB with only one connector.
Power Card Edge
The Power Card Edge connectors are a cost-effective system that can be used for DC power output from embedded AC/DC power supplies or for power distribution between boards within an enclosure. The narrow connector body helps maximize airflow for increased cooling and is well-suited for use in 1U rack-mount servers or on power distribution boards inside 1U redundant power supply assemblies.
Power USB Connector
FCI Basics Power USB Connector enables additional power delivery to 5V, 12V, or 24V peripheral devices connected using USB 2.0 cable links. When compared to a standard USB connector, this USB+Power connector interface includes four additional contacts each rated at 5A/contact, to supplement the connector's current-carrying capability. This eliminates the need for a separate power cable.
Precision Test Cables
Amphenol RF offers pre-configured RF test cables designed for high-performance applications requiring minimal insertion and return loss. They are ideal for test and measurement applications and each assembly is tested to ensure electrical and mechanical performance.
Protective Caps
Protective caps are available for many of our products, with options for chains and mounting hardware.
PwrBlade+® Cable Connectors
PwrBlade+® cable connectors offer flexibility to meet a wide variety of customer needs. The connectors come in both Cable-To-Cable and Cable-To-Board solutions. The PwrBlade+® cable provides a flexible, low-cost solution in applications such as telecommunication switches, high-end servers, and hot-swappable power supplies.
PwrBlade® Cable Assembly
The PwrBlade® cable connectors are designed to mate to PwrBlade® R/A or vertical board-mounted headers. By expanding beyond BTB applications, designers can now connect power supplies and power distribution sub-assemblies in a wider range of applications. The combination of cable connection capability with Amphenol's proven PwrBlade BTB system provides a universal power distribution connector.
