1705451150

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The Molex 170545-1150 is an EdgeLine ESP vertical card edge connector designed for high-speed data transmission. It features a 0.80mm pitch and supports 12.5 Gbps signaling rates. The component accommodates 150 total circuits, including two dedicated power circuits rated for 30A current. It is engineered for a PCB thickness of 2.36mm and utilizes a through-hole termination method.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed data transfer at 12.5 Gbps
• Integrates high-current power modules within the signal array
• Vertical orientation for compact board stacking

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-density server backplanes
• Industrial automation control systems
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the target Printed Circuit Board (PCB) has a precise thickness of 2.36mm to ensure proper mechanical engagement. Confirm that the mating system requires a female connector variant with through-hole termination. Ensure the design accounts for the specific 0.80mm pitch dimensions to maintain signal integrity and physical alignment during assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this part when the application demands both high-speed digital signals and significant power delivery in a single interface. The dual power circuit capability allows for efficient distribution without additional connectors. Consider the vertical form factor if space constraints on the Z-axis are critical for the enclosure design.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EdgeLine ESP series, which focuses on enhanced signal performance for demanding environments. The series integrates power and signal capabilities into a unified card edge solution, simplifying system architecture by reducing the number of required interconnect points.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 0.80mm pitch, 150-circuit count, and 2.36mm PCB thickness specifications. Verify that any alternative maintains the 12.5 Gbps speed rating and 30A power module capacity to ensure functional equivalence.
