EdgeLineTM 12.5 Gbps
Edge Card Connector
FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
EdgeLineTM 12.5 Gbps Edge Card Connector delivers a low-cost, flexible and scalable solution for
a wide variety of low-to mid-range telecom, computing, and storage applications
The new one-piece EdgeLineTM 12.5 Gbps Edge Card
Connector is designed to meet the demands of highspeed signal transmissions and density requirements.
The connector system accommodates two board
thicknesses to support multiple PCB layers on complex
product designs.
The press-fit connector offers high-speed differential
performance up to 12.5 Gbps. In addition, the
EdgeLineTM connector has the capability to optimally
manage slower speed single-ended and power circuits.
The stitched-terminal design offers both excellent
electrical performance and product flexibility. Various
circuit sizes are available, with or without a center key.
The EdgeLineTM 12.5 Gbps Edge Card Connector is
available in two PCB thicknesses, 1.57 and 2.36mm
(.093 and .062”), with future capability to mate to
a 2.00mm (.079”) thick PCB. Configured to meet
Telecordia requirements, the EdgeLineTM 12.5 Gbps
Edge Card Connector can fill many interconnect
requirements. For more information on

Features and Benefits
n High-speed differential design provides excellent
signal integrity, performance up to 12.5 Gbps,
depending upon the application
n Accommodates 1.57 or 2.36mm (062 or .093”)
thick PCBs to allow thicker boards to support more
PCB layers on complex product designs
n Cost-effective stitched terminal provides product
flexibility to accommodate various signals
and power
n Press-fit, flat-rock tool ensures easy board
termination with robust electrical termination
n Common or singulated ground optimizes connector
for power and slow-speed, single-ended signals in
addition to high-speed differential circuits
n Center key available on certain circuit sizes
improve PCB alignment during mating by relaxing
board tolerances up to 0.80mm (.031”) pitch
n “Chevron” differential pattern allows “route through”
for multilayer backplane applications
