In an era where data speeds define technological progress, Amphenol's latest innovation, the PCI Express^® DirectAttached^® CEM Card Edge Connectors, emerges as a game-changer. Engineered with cutting-edge technology, these connectors are set to revolutionize the landscape of data transmission, offering unparalleled performance and flexibility.

The PCIe^® Gen 5 Flip CEM is a newly introduced vertical card edge connector that adheres to the PCIe^® standard mating interface. Its unique design features "JJ" or "LL" type contacts, resulting in a significant reduction of up to 19.5% in the keep-out area compared to traditional CEM connectors. Amphenol’s Flip CEM connectors can support bandwidths up to 32GT/s (Gen5) and can mate with older generation PCIe Gen4/3 Add-In-Cards.

Self-driving cars, automated homes, and intelligent office spaces are a reality today and are taking a new level up each day. With the implementation of the fifth generation of telecom networking, the 5G, it is not only meeting high-speed requirements but also creating a new ecosystem with the Internet of Things where these connected devices communicate with each other making life easier.

Board-to-board (BTB) connectors are one of the most popular forms of connectors that connect signals between two printed circuit boards (PCBs) without a cable. At Amphenol, we offer a variety of high-performance board-to-board options to fit your specific application requirements.

PCI stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect, and it is a common connection interface attaching different computer components to a motherboard. It was introduced back in the early 90’s by a group of engineers in Intel, AMD, and other companies. Though it aimed at supporting complex data transfers, in the beginning, it evolved to extend its possibilities beyond that. The PCI bus was available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
