TE Connectivity’s Sliver Interconnects for SFF-TA-1002 are vertical, right-angle connectors, and cable solutions with high design flexibility. These interconnects support high speeds through PCIe Gen 5, with a roadmap to PCIe Gen 6, and PCIe Gen 7/ 128Gbps. The SFF-TA-1002 standard defines vertical, right angle, straddle mount, and orthogonal connectors for servers and storage devices. The SFF-TA-1002 pinout supports EDSFF, PCIe, OCP NIC, and other standards. The series features standardized designs that enable easy designing and multi-sourcing by consolidating fragmented pinouts and speeds. TE Sliver Interconnects for SFF-TA-1002 support present and future bandwidth needs without requiring requalification and redesign. Applications include internal cabled solutions, PCB card edge (BTB) solutions, networking equipment, servers, switches, routers, high-performance computing (HPC), wireless base stations, and radios.
The Sliver power module can be used with any SFF-TA-1002 vertical connector. This follows the same interface as EDSFF and can be used with a card edge or cable receptacle.
