PCIe Edge Connector for Straddle-Mount Layouts
The TE Connectivity 1-2372484-2 is a 64-position, dual-row female edge-card connector built for the PCI Express form factor. The 64 positions are arranged in two rows, with the contact layout split into 11 and 21 positions per bay per row. The contact finish is 15.0 µin gold over phosphor bronze.
Straddle Mount and Board-Edge Clearance
The straddle-mount opening is unthreaded and sized at 0.087" (2.20 mm) — this is the slot the board edge slides into before reflow. The specified card thickness is 0.062" (1.57 mm), which is the standard PCIe add-in-card thickness. The SMT termination rows are both on the same side of the straddle opening, so the board-edge clearance on the component side needs to account for the solder fillet height.
PCIe Generation Compatibility and Locking Ramp
The connector is designated PCIEG4 in the description, indicating it is rated for PCIe Gen 4 signalling rates.
