The 0.50 mm pitch packs the signal contacts into a compact dual-row layout that matches the M.2 card edge footprint, keeping the overall slot width narrow enough for space-constrained designs. The Key M notch in the housing accepts only M-keyed cards — typically NVMe SSDs — and physically blocks B-key or E-key cards from seating, which prevents electrical misconnection. Right-angle SMT termination places the mated card parallel to the motherboard, which is the standard orientation for internal drive bays where the z-height above the board is limited to the card thickness plus a few millimetres. The Key M notch in the housing accepts only M-keyed M.2 cards. A B-key or E-key card will not seat. Gold flash on the contact finish provides corrosion resistance. The LCP insulator is rated for -40°C to 80°C. ## Comparison with Sibling MDT180E03001 The MDT180E03001 shares the same 67-position count, 0.50 mm pitch, dual-row layout, right-angle SMT mounting, gold flash contacts, and board lock feature. The difference is the keying variant: MDT180M03001 is Key M, while MDT180E03001 is Key E. Choose Key M for NVMe SSD slots and Key E for wireless/CNVi card slots — the two are not physically interchangeable.","metaTitle":"Amphenol MDT180M03001 M.2 Connector, 67 Pos, 0.50mm Pitch","metaDescription":"Amphenol MDT180M03001 M.2 female connector, 67 positions, 0.50mm pitch, Key M, right-angle SMT, gold flash contacts.
