204976 – ERNI

The ERNI 204976 is a CompactPCI Express (cPCIe) male connector conforming to the PICMG specification for high-speed interconnects in ruggedized computing environments. This connector features a B8 keying configuration, indicating its designated slot position within a cPCIe backplane. It provides 40 pins arranged to support PCIe signaling, power distribution, and system management functions. The connector is designed for right-angle mounting on a printed circuit board, enabling parallel card insertion into a backplane. Signal integrity is maintained through controlled impedance routing and shielding techniques within the connector body. The materials used in construction are selected for durability and resistance to environmental factors typical in industrial and telecommunications applications, including vibration and temperature variations. The 204976 facilitates high-bandwidth data transfer rates as defined by the cPCIe standard, supporting critical applications requiring robust and reliable inter-module communication.
