The TE Connectivity 2-2362375-1 is a 36-position PCI Express Gen4 edge-card connector on a 1.00 mm pitch, dual-row, female receptacle designed for through-hole solder attachment to the motherboard. It accepts a standard PCIe add-in card of 0.062" (1.57 mm) thickness. A board guide on the connector body aligns the card during insertion, and the integrated locking ramp secures the card against vibration in server, workstation, and desktop environments.
The 36 positions are laid out in a dual-row staggered pattern, with 11 positions in one bay and 7 in the other per the readout. This matches the standard x16 slot pinout. The through-hole termination rows give a rugged solder joint that handles the mechanical insertion force of the card, but the tight pitch means the board designer must keep trace routing clear of the via field to avoid impedance discontinuities at Gen4 data rates.
