Right Angle PCIe Connectors with a variety of
stack heights offer a low profile, which saves space
while allowing horizontal (parallel) PCIe card
mounting

Meritec offers the X1, X4, X8 and X16 connectors in their PCI Express (PCIe) Card Edge Connector family

All Meritec PCIe connector footprints are identical to the vertical mount versions for joint compatibility in the
PCB design.

FEATURES and BENEFITS

Horizontal (parallel) PCI Express card mating

Meets all PCI Express local bus standards

Plastic cover protects PCIe connectors from
dust and debris, and supports connector for
hybrid soldering applications requiring
convection/IR heating

Compliant board locating posts

Compatible with wave soldering process

Card mounting heights from 5.84mm to
16.68mm

Solves space problem in applications where
card edge connector is needed and where low
clearance above PCB prohibits use of vertical
configurations

Insert molded using liquid crystal polymer for
stability in hybrid board applications involving
surface mount components

Offers PCB design flexibility

Designed to mate with .062” thick daughter
card

RoHS compliant
