Board-Level Connectors

Amphenol's 1.0mm pitch DirectAttached™ CEM (DA CEM) is a hybrid card edge solution with high-speed signal pins designed to directly attach to the cable to eliminate PCB trace loss and press-fit termination type power pins for better rework. Amphenol has tooled Gen 5 DA CEM with configurations available for X8 and X16, at 32GT/s data rate to meet PCIe® Gen 5.

The PCIe® Gen 5 Flip CEM is a new 1.0mm pitch vertical card edge connector that follows PCIe® standard mating interface. It is designed with a different footprint because the contacts are “JJ” type or “LL” contacts which provide maximum savings of up to 19.5% in keepout area. The current Flip CEM supports 32GT/s (Gen 5) and the mating side supports backward compatibility with PCIe® 4/3/2/1 card.

Amphenol's 1.00mm pitch, vertical card edge connectors enable PCI Express® (PCIe®) signaling from 2.5Gb/s (Gen 1) and 5Gb/s (Gen 2) up to 8Gb/s (Gen 3) per differential signal pair. A modular design of these connectors allows standard pin counts like 36, 64, 98, 164, and 280.

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.

Amphenol PCIe® Gen 6 connectors exceed industry standard PCIe® 6.0 performance requirements. These 1.00mm pitch, vertical card edge connectors enable all generations of PCI Express® signaling in desktop PCs, workstations, and servers, Industrial PCs, embedded systems, routers, automotive infotainment systems, and respirators.

The PCI Express® Gen 6 DirectAttached™ CEM Card Edge Connectors from Amphenol offer superior performance for next-generation systems. The 1.0mm pitch DirectAttached™ CEM (DA CEM) is a hybrid card edge solution with high-speed signal pins designed to directly attach to the cable, limiting PCB trace loss and features press-fit termination power pins for improved rework.

The PCI Express® Gen 6 Flip CEM Card Edge Connectors offer a new 1.0mm pitch vertical card edge connector designed in line with PCIe® mating interface standards. Unique to this model are the “JJ” and “LL” contact types, which allow for a 19.5% keep-out area savings. Capable of supporting 64GT/s (Gen 6), its backward-compatible design ensures compatibility with PCIe® 5/4/3/2/1 cards.

PHEN/PHEC is a series of 1.27mm pitch board-to-board products that can tolerate a maximum misalignment of 1.3mm between the plug and receptacle. This ensures no damage to the housing or contact during angular mating. The tolerance is the result of the robustness of the housing design.

VERSATILE DESIGN FOR DEMANDING APPLICATIONS Amphenol's PV® solution is a versatile and modular system able to meet all the board-to-board, board-to-wire, and wire-to-wire applications where high density outstanding electrical and mechanical performances are required.

FCI Basics Quickie® is a complete solution for flat cable-to-board connections using 2.54mm pitch IDC technology. The highly durable and cost-saving connectors come with specialized features in polarization, plating, and structure. Headers are low profile and come in shrouded versions with or without eject latches. Receptacles have strain relief covers for precise alignment.
