PCI Express to PCI/104-Express Adapter

Click here to download this information as an Adobe PDF.

This convenient adapter board allows users to install either a PCIe/104 or a PCI/104-Express card into a standard PCI Express system slot.

The adapter features both a PCIe/104 and a PCI-104 connector.  The passive PCI-104 connector has all critical PCI input signals tied off to safe levels to avoid damaging a dual-bus card, while at the same time provides extra mechanical stability for PCI/104-Express cards.

Specifications

• PCIe/104 and PCI/104-Express compatible

• Industrial temperature range of -40º C to 85º C

• PCIe/104 156 pin stack-through connector

• PCI-104 120 pin stack-through connector

• x1 lane PCI Express card edge allows installation in any slot width

• Complies with PCI Express 1.1 electromechanical requirements

• Measures 4.050” wide by 4.375” tall

• RoHS compliant

Standard Usage

This adapter supports any x1 lane PCI/104-Express or PCIe/104 add-in card.  Simply mount the add-in card to the adapter and install the adapter in a PCI Express slot.  Most PCI/104-Express and PCIe/104 cards will require the connection of an IDE power cable to the P3 connector on the card.  This cable provides the 5V rail to the add-in card.

Once everything is connected, you may begin using the add-in card just as you would any other PCI Express add-in card.  No additional configuration is required.
