FCI's 1.0mm pitch, vertical PCI Express card edge connectors are engineered to support all generations of PCI Express signaling, including 2.5Gb/s (Gen1), 5.0Gb/s (Gen2), and 8.0Gb/s (Gen3) per differential signal pair. These connectors are designed for high-performance systems such as desktop PCs, workstations, and servers, offering various link widths (x1, x4, x8, x16) to meet diverse bandwidth requirements. The product range includes options for through-hole solder, press-fit, surface-mount, and straddle-mount terminations, providing flexibility for different manufacturing processes and PCB thicknesses. Enhanced features like ExpressModule versions with expanded lead-in windows for blind-mate server applications and integrated retention arms for graphics cards ensure robust performance and ease of use in demanding environments.
