What are typical insertion & withdrawal forces for PCIe connectors?
This Amphenol datasheet lists 1.15 N/pin insertion force and 0.15 N/pin withdrawal force.
Based on these values:
- A PCIe x1 connector with 36 pins
- insertion force of
36*1.15N = 41.4 N = 4.22 kgfand - withdrawal force of
36*0.15N = 5.4 N = 0.551 kgf
- insertion force of
- A PCIe x4 connector with 64 pins
- insertion force of
64*1.15N = 73.6 N = 7.505 kgfand - withdrawal force of
64*0.15N = 9.6 N = 0.979 kgf
- insertion force of
- A PCIe x8 connector with 98 pins
- insertion force of
98*1.15N = 112.7 N = 11.492 kgfand - withdrawal force of
98*0.15N = 14.7 N = 1.499 kgf
- insertion force of
- A PCIe x16 connector with 164 pins
- insertion force of
164*1.15N = 188.6 N = 19.232 kgfand - withdrawal force of
164*0.15N = 24.6 N = 2.509 kgf
- insertion force of
- A PCIe x24 connector with 230 pins
- insertion force of
230*1.15N = 264.5 N = 4.22 kgfand - withdrawal force of
230*0.15N = 34.5 N = 3.518 kgf
- insertion force of
