Mini Cool Edge 0.60mm high density, scalable connectors support Gen Z system architecture, which delivers high performance and enhanced signal integrity. The high speed card edge connectors support both add-in card (AIC) and cabled applications, up to 56G PAM4. Low‐latency communications is also a key benefit of Gen Z applications.
Mini Cool Edge connector specification is defined in SNIA SFF TA1002 while EDSFF and OCP committees adopt it for SSD application and NIC 3.0 application.
Gen Z interconnect solutions should come in 1C, 2C, 4C and 4C+ pin configuration, and vertical, right angle, straddle mount and orthogonal orientation. Mini Cool Edge product family supports all the connector variations above.
