Mini PCI-Express and M.2 (NGFF) connector

M.2, formerly called Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF), is a specification for internal computer expansion cards and corresponding ports. Because of the smaller and more flexible dimensions associated with extended functions, M.2 is better suited for connecting e.g. SSDs - especially in compact devices such as ultrabooks or tablets.

The M.2 standard describes four PCI Express lanes and a SATA Revision 3.x (6 Gbps) port - all in one connetor. At each port, both bus systems can also be used in parallel.

 

• M.2 (NGFF) connector with pitch 0.50mm and 75 contacts

 

• 2 height options 3.05mm and 4.05mm

 

• 5 Key options (A, B, E, M)

 

• Support higher data rates in a dense form factor

 

• Ensure a secure connection with different module cards

 

• Connectors meet the PCI-SIG industry standard
