Amphenol FCI Minitek Pwr CEM-5 PCIe Connector Systems

The Amphenol FCi Minitek Pwr CEM-5 PCIe Connector Systems provide a high current rating of up to 9.5A/pin (12 pins energized) and the 4 signal pins support signal transmission. These devices are designed with a 12VHPWR auxiliary hybrid connector and cable assembly that supports the 600W GPU cards. The 12VHPWR connector is not designed to mate with legacy PCI Express 2x3 and 2x4 12V auxiliary power connectors. The 12VHPWR connector power pins have a 3.00mm pitch, while the contacts in a legacy 2x3 and 2x4 connector lie on a larger 4.20mm pitch.

The Minitek Pwr CEM-5 PCIe connector systems feature fully isolated terminals that prevent terminals from potential damage during operation. These connectors also ensure secured mating retention with positive locking on housing with low thumb latch operation. These devices support RoHS compliance and are lead-free to meet environmental, health, and safety requirements. The connector systems are ideal for gaming consoles, graphic interfaces, and computing systems.
