Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized TE Connectivity channels or certified distributors. Confirm that the received parts match the specific Sliver 2.0 series designation and pin count. Check manufacturing dates against end-of-life notices if applicable. Ensure handling procedures protect the fine-pitch contacts from mechanical damage during storage and transport.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density, low-pitch dual-edge solution is required for internal cable interconnects. The 0.6mm pitch accommodates significant I/O density in constrained spaces. Verify compatibility with mating edge cards regarding thickness and contact alignment. Consider the SMT mounting style for production efficiency and mechanical stability in server or networking hardware.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This connector is part of the Sliver family, which has been adopted as the standard for SFF-TA-1002. This standardization ensures interoperability across various high-performance computing and storage solutions. The design facilitates flexible pinout arrangements and multiple mounting options for cabled and card edge interconnect designs.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are limited due to the proprietary nature of the Sliver 2.0 form factor. Alternative solutions may require redesigning the PCB footprint and mating interface. Consult TE Connectivity for any officially confirmed replacement part numbers before modifying the design.
