PCI Express M.2 connectors

7 September 2016 Interconnection

Now available from AVX is the 6411 series of PCI Express M.2 connectors. Compatible with the new M.2 specification developed by the Peripheral Component Interconnect Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG), these connectors support multiple functions with high-speed signal integrity on a single card, effectively contributing to thinner and lighter notebook and mobile computers, including Ultrabook and tablet PCs.

Designed to support high-speed, high-integrity PCIe Gen 3, USB 3.0 and SATA 3.0 signal transmissions for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, solid state drive (SSDs), global navigation satellite system (GNSS), near field communication (NFC), wireless gigabit (WiGig), and 2G, 3G and 4G wireless wide area network (WWAN) applications, the 6411 Series multifunction card connectors can achieve signal speeds up to 8 Gbps, and improve efficiency by allowing angled insertion and removal from 0° to 15° relative to the PCB.

Featuring a 0,5 mm pitch and 67 dual-location copper alloy pin contacts, each rated for 0,4 A and 50 V, these M.2 connectors are available with 12 keying options (A - H and J - M), and in both single-and double-sided modules with various heights: the M1.8 midplane connector with an extremely low 1,8 mm maximum mounted height, the H2.3 single-sided connector with a maximum height of 2,3 mm, and the H3.2 double-sided connector with a maximum height of 3,2 mm.

RoHS compliant and halogen-free, the series is rated for 60 mating cycles and operating temperatures spanning -40°C to +80°C, and is capable of withstanding up to 285 G shock.
