Description
The PCI Express card edge connector’s integrated retention arm extends away from end of the connector body and includes a molded post that snaps into a notch on the bottom of the add-in card. The post is designed to engage with the “hockey stick” shaped hook defined on the bottom of the graphics card. Removal of a graphics card is facilitated by pushing the flexible arm away from the graphics card until the molded post disengages from the notch on the bottom of the card. The add-in card can then be unplugged from the x16 PCI Express card edge connector. The 10046742 connector series is RoHS compliant and is compatible with lead-free wave solder temperatures.
We offer a full series of PCI express (PCIe) card edge connectors to enable easy and cost-effective implementation of PCIe architecture in desktop computers, communications equipment, workstations, and factory automation equipment. Highly reliable and durable, these connectors fully support the PCIe standards for signal and power as well as auxiliary signals at the interface between the motherboard and add-in card. This PCIe series is engineered to optimize both design flexibility and manufacturing efficiencies as devices are provided in a wide range of termination types and mounting styles. Parts’ serial lanes are comprised of two differential wire pairs that support a data transfer rate of 500 MB/s in each direction, per lane. They also feature a 2.5 GHz clock rate and a 5 GT/s (gigatransfers per second) bit rate.

Every modern-day graphics card comes with a PCI Express x16 connector that goes in the PCI Express x16 slot of your motherboard. PCI Express x16 connector connects your graphics to the motherboard and is the only interface through which communication happens. A PCI Express x16 slot can provide a maximum of 75 Watts to the graphics card which is enough for entry-level, low profile and budget graphics cards. Even some mid-range graphics cards can also work on the power from the PCI Express x16 slot alone but higher mid-range graphics cards and high-end graphics card requires external power from the PSU through 6-pin and 8-pin power connectors. Below you can see the PCI-Express x16 connector of the graphics card.
