Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm compliance requirements and packaging details. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB stack-up and mating card thickness. Confirm availability through authorized distributors to guarantee genuine components. Check for any recent product change notifications that may affect form or function prior to finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a vertical, open-end PCI Express interface is required. The 98-position count and 0.039-inch pitch define the electrical and mechanical footprint. Consider the through-hole termination method for robust mechanical stability during operation. Evaluate space constraints on the host board to accommodate the vertical profile of the connector assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the Amphenol ICC (FCI) PCI Express connector family. Amphenol acquired FCI in 2016, integrating its extensive portfolio into the Amphenol ICC division. This series supports high-reliability interconnects for data processing and communication markets, emphasizing signal integrity and durable mechanical performance in commercial electronics.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for equivalent connectors within the same pitch and position count. Verify that alternative parts match the vertical orientation and open-end specifications. Ensure mating card dimensions and termination methods are compatible before implementing any cross-reference solutions.
