Tyco Electronics has designed a 1mm centreline card edge connector to meet the high performance point-to-point full duplex I/O bus standard for PCI Express architecture.

The PCI Express standard was introduced to allow customers to reach the high bandwidth required for today's modern equipment.

Applications for the Tyco Electronics card edge connector include graphics cards in serial bus applications, I/O client cards for applications requiring higher speeds than the popular PCI Bus, computers (both desktop and server), and telecommunications switches and routers.

Tyco Electronics' card edge connector is available for all standard PCI Express slot sizes (x1, x4, x8 and x16) and comes with plastic locating posts or metal hold-downs.

It is also available in either straddle-mount or right angle configurations and with three different tail lengths (2.3, 3.1 and 3.56mm).
