Amphenol FCI offers an array of Card Edge connectors supporting PCI Express® Gen 3, Gen 4, and Gen 5 standards along with PCIe® M.2 Connectors, which provide high performance and differential signaling in low profiles. The connector designs support 2.5GT/s (Gen 1), 5.0GT/s (Gen 2), 8.0GT/s (Gen 3) and upgrade to 16GT/s (Gen 4), even further to Gen 5 32GT/s per differential signal pair. The expansive range of vertical PCIe Gen 4 and Gen 5 connectors come with options for surface-mount (SMT), through-hole solder, press-fit (PF), and straddle-mount terminations. These PCIe connectors are typically used for I/O cards in desktop PCs, along with applications in data communications for servers, workstations, routers, industrial embedded systems, interface processing, and data storage devices like hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs).
