10168619-B0040LF

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) part number 10168619-B0040LF is a specialized edgeboard connector designed for high-speed data transmission applications. It functions as an adapter interface, converting a single PCI Express Gen5 CEM X16 slot into two MCIO X8 connections. This configuration supports the demanding bandwidth requirements of modern computing architectures, facilitating efficient signal integrity and power delivery within server or storage chassis environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Converts one PCIe Gen5 CEM X16 receptacle to dual MCIO X8 interfaces
• Supports high-bandwidth data transfer protocols required by next-generation accelerators
• Designed for direct mounting on system backplanes or mezzanine cards

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-performance computing servers requiring multiple accelerator cards
• Storage area networks with high throughput demands
• Data center infrastructure utilizing PCIe Gen5 expansion slots

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific B2 suffix in the part number corresponds to the exact mechanical and material specifications required for your design, as ordering suffixes often denote critical variations in plating, housing color, or flange type. Confirm compatibility with the target PCB stack-up and mating device dimensions before finalizing procurement orders to ensure proper fit and electrical performance.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a design requires splitting a single wide PCIe Gen5 slot into two narrower MCIO connections for modular accelerator deployment. Ensure the host system provides adequate cooling and structural support for the dual-connector layout. Validate that the target MCIO devices are compatible with the pinout and signaling standards defined by the CEM standard.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the Amphenol ICC portfolio of edgeboard connectors, which are engineered for robust interconnect solutions in enterprise and industrial markets. The manufacturer leverages extensive experience in high-frequency signal integrity to deliver reliable connectivity for complex electronic systems requiring dense I/O configurations.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available for this specific model. Due to the proprietary nature of the pinout and mechanical footprint, alternative components must be validated through rigorous engineering testing to ensure functional equivalence.
