1-145165-2

Overview

The 1-145165-2 is a female PCI Express and PCI card edge connector manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. It features an 184-position configuration designed for dual-sided PCI applications, supporting both 3.3V and 5V signaling standards. The connector utilizes a 64-bit data bus architecture with a standard 0.050-inch (1.27mm) contact pitch to ensure reliable signal transmission in high-density electronic systems.

Feature Summary

• Dual-sided card edge design compatible with standard PCI and PCI Express specifications
• Gold-plated contacts to ensure low resistance and corrosion resistance
• Robust mechanical retention for secure board-to-board or backplane connections

Applications

• Industrial control system motherboards
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• High-performance computing hardware

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm voltage rating and contact plating thickness, as these variations affect electrical performance. Ensure the procurement channel provides traceability documentation. Confirm that the received components match the exact pin count and package dimensions required for the target PCB layout before assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 184-pin interface is required for legacy PCI or modern PCIe expansion slots. Consider the mechanical height and retention force requirements of the host chassis. Evaluate thermal management needs, as gold-plated contacts offer superior conductivity compared to tin variants for frequent insertion cycles.

Part Context

This part belongs to the extensive TE Connectivity AMP Connectors portfolio, which specializes in robust interconnect solutions for demanding environments. The series supports critical data and power transfer in sectors requiring high reliability, such as aerospace and industrial automation, reflecting decades of engineering expertise in connector technology.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 184-position female card edge connectors from TE Connectivity or major competitors like Molex and Amphenol. Verify that alternative parts maintain identical 0.050-inch pitch, gold plating specifications, and dual-sided compatibility to ensure seamless integration without PCB redesign.

FAQ
