Thanks all,

I have been to that site before.  I was thinking that the spec would be
available on-line without cost similarly to the standard PCI spec.

My particular concern (we are a fab shop) is that I have a customer using
this specification and he says that it calls for the edge connector fingers
to stop 1.4mm.  What they have done then is filled this void area (between
end of fingers and board edge) with ground plane.  Makes bussing the fingers
out for electroplating impossible.  Selective hard gold plating is possible
but certainly ads $$$ to the part.

As an aside, on a standard edge finger design for the PCI Express bus, are
there any concerns with doing a standard gold finger buss off the center of
the finger to beyond the board edge?  This would of course somewhat defeat
the purpose of setting the fingers back 1.4mm in the first place.  What is
generally being done in this regard?

Thanks
John Parsons

John,
You can go to www.pcisig.com. You will need the PCI Express Card
Electromechanical Specification. Or you can call them at 1-800-433-5177.
I am not sure what the cost is but be sure it will cost you.
Thanks

Hi all,



Can anyone point me to spec's for the PCI Express Bus.  In particular I
am looking for the PCB connector finger layout information.
