TE Connectivity ( TE ) has introduced the M.2 Series Next Generation ( NGFF ) connector designed for new interface standards for smaller form factor and volume applications. TE 's M.2 ( NGFF ) products meet current and future market demand for ultra-thin solutions for all types of SSDs (SSDs) and wireless network cards in notebooks, ultrabooks, tablets, desktops and servers. Designed for a variety of applications.

The fast-growing end market requires smaller connectors to ensure maximum printed circuit board (PCB) efficiency, lower overall height and support higher data transfer rates, and TE is always at the forefront of this market. The two M.2 ( NGFF ) products released this time are equipped with standard patch mounting or embedded mounting, and the design is more compact. The 67 pin positions are only 0.5mm apart from each other.

Jaren May, Global Product Manager for Consumer Electronics, said: "As the market continues to shift to thinner and lighter solutions, the transition from PCI Express Mini Card to smaller standardized specifications such as M.2 (NGFF) will become very Naturally, M.2 (NGFF) connectors are still in the early stages of their product lifecycle, and we are working closely with industry standards committees and other innovative companies to guide the market toward a more lightweight design."

TE's M.2 (NGFF) portfolio provides industry-leading features and benefits, including:

· Provides a wide range of product options · Supports the latest data transfer standards including PCI Express 3.0, SATA 3.0 and USB 3.0
· Can save more than 20% PCB area · Connector height reduced by 15% (compared to PCI Express Mini Card connector)
· Flexible mold design provides a variety of error-proof plug-in options for correct insertion and removal of different module cards. · Can be used with different module cards for single-sided or double-sided patches.

“The development of a high-performance, small-size M.2 (NGFF) with cost-effective design is the most powerful proof of the success of our team of design engineers,” May said.
