Sliver 2.0 Edge Connector — 56-Position, 0.60 mm Pitch
The TE Connectivity 2327672-3 is a 56-position female edge connector from the Sliver 2.0 series, designed for high-density, high-speed card-edge interconnects in data center switches, servers, and networking gear. It mates with a matching male edge card (non-specified dual edge, 0.062" (1.57 mm) thick) and uses a 0.024" (0.60 mm) pitch dual-row layout — 28 positions per row.
Pitch, Density, and Board Fit
At 0.60 mm pitch, this connector packs 56 differential pairs or single-ended signals into a compact board-edge footprint — typical for PCIe Gen 4/5 or 100 GbE line cards. The dual-row readout doubles signal density compared to a single-row edge connector of the same length. The 0.062" card thickness is the standard for most PCB edge cards; the connector's card slot is dimensioned to accept that thickness with a snug wipe on the gold contacts.
SMT Assembly and Retention Features
This connector is surface-mount, right-angle — the solder tails reflow onto pads on the top side of the motherboard. Pick-and-place compatibility (flat top surface, tape-and-reel packaging) means it runs on a standard SMT line without hand-loading. The liquid crystal polymer (LCP) insulation handles the reflow profile without warping.
Environmental Range and Plating Durability
Tin is not used on the mating interface, avoiding fretting corrosion in low-current signal paths.
