Board-Level Connectors

SAS/PCIe® 6.0 (U.2) connectors come with 64Gb/s PAM4 (PCIe® lanes) and 24Gb/s (SAS lanes) speeds to meet the demands of next-generation servers. The 68-position, SAS/PCIe® receptacle and plug enable implementation of high-speed Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk drive (HDD) interface as well as Peripheral Component Express (PCIe®)-based devices.

Amphenol offers a wide range of high-performance SATA connectors. They are designed to support up to 12Gb/s, enabling the implementation of low cost, high speed, high capacity hard disk drive (HDD). The connectors are SATA compliant and meet a wide range of vertical and right-angle configurations for usage across server and storage equipment, HDDs, and HDD carriers.

SCA-2 connectors consist of headers and receptacles that enable the hard disk drive to backplane interface in enterprise storage systems. The header resides on the HDD while the receptacle is attached to the backplane. 40pos SCA-2 receptacles are designed to accept Fibre Channel drives, while 80pos receptacle accepts SCSI drives.

SD Express offers the fastest data transfer rates up to 985MB/s adhering to PCIe® Gen 3 x1 lane interface and NVMe application protocol. Meeting SD 7.0 specifications, these connectors come with a pin detection function, which offers enhanced protection and establishes a better read function when the memory card is inserted.

FCI Basics SD Memory Card Connector is tailor-made for the Car Multimedia Device market serving the dashboard and vehicular entertainment applications. This top-mount solution is highly durable, shockproof, and is able to withstand vibrations and high temperatures found in the automotive environment. The connector is shielded, comes with write protection, and is RoHS compliant.

SIAL is a modular high-density interconnection system that has the capability to mix signal and coax contacts. The contact technology developed for this connector allows the use of thermal clamps. With 3 sizes of modules, the SIAL connectors provide the arrangement needed, from 18 to 392 contacts.

The SIHD connector combines excellent electrical performances with high contact density within a robust housing, which can withstand extreme environmental conditions. In addition, the lateral displacement capability allows the use of thermal clamps for heat management, as well as a more relaxed positional tolerance on the backplane.

FCI Basics SIM Card connectors are 6- to 8-pin connectors primarily used as SIM card readers in smartphones and other mobile devices. These are designed for full SIM, mini SIM, and micro SIM "Plug-in" applications with hinges and covers for secure card retention. The SMT connectors are space-saving and low-profile.

SIM COMPLIANT FOR 2FF AND 3FF Amphenol is a leader in SIM card sockets. These connectors save space and are user-friendly. The push-push eject feature ensures smooth extraction of the card. It is ideal for use in switches, wifi routers, and mobile phones.

Amphenol's new Slim Cool Edge Gen 6 64G PAM4 Hybrid Power and Signal connectors offer a compact, one-piece card-edge solution for high-speed and high-power applications. These connectors provide a cost-effective and high-density alternative, featuring a versatile 0.65mm signal pitch design that supports multiple board-toboard (BTB) configurations.
