2371900-4

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 2371900-4 is a high-density female connector designed for PCI Express applications. It features 164 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with a precise 0.039-inch (1.00mm) centerline pitch. The housing is constructed from black insulating material, while the contacts utilize copper alloy substrates plated with gold to ensure signal integrity and corrosion resistance. This component supports vertical board-to-board mounting interfaces.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual read-out capability for enhanced signal routing flexibility
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable electrical performance
• Vertical mounting style optimized for space-constrained designs

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• PCI Express peripheral interconnects
• High-speed data transmission modules
