PCI Express® DirectAttached™ CEM Card Edge 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.
PCI Express® Flip CEM Card Edge Connectors
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.
PCI Express® Gen 3 Card Edge Connectors
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.
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.
PCI Express® Gen 5 DirectAttached™ Cable Riser
Amphenol's PCIe® DirectAttached™ cable riser solution with PCIe® DirectAttaced™ CEM connector on one end of the cable allows the flexibility of a different connection on the other end of the cable, accommodating different PCB form factors such as MCIO, Multi-trak™, SlimSAS™, EDSFF, OCP NIC 3.0, Gen Z, or Backplane connectors.
PCI Express® Gen 6 CEM Card Edge Connectors
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.
PCI Express® Gen 6 DirectAttached™ CEM Card Edge Connectors
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.
PCI Express® Gen 6 Flip CEM Card Edge Connectors
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.
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.
