Engineering Excellence for High-Power PCIe Applications

Engineered by CONSHARE for next-generation GPU and high-performance computing systems, our 3.0mm pitch PCIe 12+4P right-angle DIP wafer connector delivers the power density and signal integrity your advanced designs demand. Unlike standard connectors that compromise at high currents, this solution is purpose-built for 12VHPWR applications where reliability under load is non-negotiable.

Current-Carrying Architecture That Prevents Thermal Throttling

The power contact system utilizes C1100 high-conductivity copper with nickel underplating – a specification that directly addresses the #1 failure mode in high-power PCIe connections: overheating at contact interfaces. Each power pin maintains consistent current capacity even at the upper end of the -40°C to +105°C operating range.

Signal Integrity for Critical Power Management

The four dedicated signal pins aren't just "extra connections" – they form the intelligent power management backbone of your system:

S1: CARD_PWR_STABLE

• Provides real-time power good signaling to prevent boot-up sequencing errors

• Eliminates the need for external voltage monitoring circuits

S2: CARD_CBL_PRES#

• Active-low cable presence detection

• Enables hot-swap capability and safety interlock functionality

S3/S4: SENSE Lines

• Remote voltage sensing compensates for cable voltage drop

• Maintains precise 12V regulation at the load, even with 3% cable resistance

Each signal contact features matte tin plating over nickel, ensuring reliable mating cycles (30+ insertions) with stable contact resistance <6mΩ throughout the product lifecycle.

Mechanical Design for Manufacturing Success

Right-Angle DIP Configuration

• 90° orientation optimizes airflow across your PCB

• Through-hole mounting provides superior mechanical retention vs. SMT alternatives

• Board lock pins reinforce connection, preventing solder joint fatigue from vibration

PA9T High-Temperature Insulator

• UL94V-0 flame retardant rating

• Withstands 260°C reflow soldering without blistering or dimensional shift

• Glass-reinforced polymer maintains dimensional stability across temperature extremes

Precision-Machined Contact Geometry

• 3.0mm pitch spacing balances density with manufacturability

• Optimized contact normal force prevents fretting corrosion

• Lead-free, RoHS compliant construction meets global environmental requirements

Why CONSHARE Delivers Better Value
