CompactPCI

The PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group (PICMG) was founded with the object of making the capabilities of the PCI bus available on an industrial level.

The industry standard defined by the PICMG is designated CompactPCI, and has the following features:

• Electrically identical to the PCI bus (use of standard PCI chipsets and software possible)
  
• Eurocard format - 3U and 6U
  
• Suits standard 19" rack/cabinet
  
• Metric connectors in 2mm grid

Based on the use of standard components, CompactPCI is a cost-effective yet high-performance system. The 2.0mm connectors specified by the PICMG, and their associated requirements in terms of form factor and high frequency properties are met by the CompactPCI connector generation from ERNI.

CompactPCI Monoblock Modules

ERNI offers a wide range of 2.0 mm connectors according to the CompactPCI standards of the PICMG.

The 2.0-mm connectors acc. to IEC 61076-4-101 of the ERmet series fullfill the requirements of the CompactPCI standards with high contact density, superior RF characteristics and the shielding and coding possibilities. A new design of a CompactPCI connector with the name monoblock integrates the two CompactPCI connectors, type B and type A in one single connector.

Additionally is already integrated the CompactPCI colour coding, e.g. blue for 5.0 V or yellow for 3.3 V. The assembly process for the coding key is not necessary anymore. Other benefits are stockkeeping of just one connector necessary and reduced time for the assembly and press-in of the connector.
