COM Express connector system for 5 mm board-to-board distance

You want to realize your COM Express application with the smallest possible board-to-board distance? Then our Colibri® Plug is the right one for you! It allows a minimum board-to-board distance of only 5 mm between COM Modul and Carrier Board. As well as the 8 mm version this one, too, is available with 220 or 440 pins and is suitable for 10+ Gbps applications.

The Colibri®connector system stands out due to its rugged design and flexible usability. Colibri® is a double-row connector system consisting of plug and receptacle, that each have a pitch dimension of 0.5 millimetres. They are processed using SMT technology, in other words, soldered directly on the circuit board. Colibri® single connectors feature 220 pins. The 440-pins version consists of two 220-pins Colibri® connectors which are held together through an assembling frame. The frame guarantees an exact positioning of the two connectors according to COM Express specifications and has to be removed after soldering.

ept gives its customers additional flexibility by offering Colibri® products that are compatible with all common connectors available on the market. The compatibility is proved by signal integrity tests performed by the Fraunhofer Intsitut, where Colibri® connectors reached excellent results - in comparison as well as in connection with other COM Express connectors.

Colibri connectors from ept meet all requirements of the PICMG COM Express®, SFF-SIG Core Express® and nanoETXexpress standards. They are delivered in Tape and Reel to facilitate fully automated processing.
