145154-8

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 145154-8 is a PCI Series card edge connector designed for vertical PCB mounting. It features 60 dual positions, totaling 120 contacts, arranged in two rows with 60 positions per row. The connector utilizes phosphor bronze contacts with a gold plating finish of 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness to ensure reliable signal transmission. The housing is constructed from natural thermoplastic insulation material. This component is specified for use with standard 0.062" (1.57mm) thick PCI cards and is intended for through-hole installation on printed circuit boards.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and revision level against the manufacturer's current datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the required contact count and row configuration match the design specifications exactly. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB stack-up and card thickness requirements. Check for any recent product change notices or obsolescence alerts associated with this base part number to avoid supply chain disruptions during production.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical mounting solution is required for PCI-compliant applications. The dual-row layout supports higher pin counts compared to single-row alternatives within the same footprint constraints. Consider the gold plating specification for environments requiring long-term oxidation resistance. Evaluate the mechanical retention needs of the host system to ensure the through-hole termination method aligns with the assembly process capabilities and stress requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This connector belongs to the AMP PCI Series family, which provides standardized interconnect solutions for peripheral component interconnect applications. The series offers various position counts and mounting angles to accommodate different form factors. Part 145154-8 specifically addresses the need for robust vertical connections in dense electronic assemblies where space efficiency and signal integrity are critical design parameters.
