PC & PCI cards

Printed circuit boards are connected directly to a motherboard (mainboard) using PC / PCI slot connectors. There is a difference between the PC-AT Standard (also called “ISA”) with a grid spacing of 2.54mm (0.1 inch) and the PCI Standard with a grid spacing of 1.27mm (0.05 inch) for the gold fingers (the gold-plated contact pins).

Design-Rules:

The entire plug area including the gold fingers must not be covered by solder-stop (see diagram)
Plated-through holes within the contact area are not allowed
The circuit board surface may be freely selected
The gold fingers are manufactured using “hard gold” (electroplated gold)

Design parameters

	PC-card	PCI-card
Chamfer angle	45°	20°
Chamfer depth	0,5mm	1,7mm
Spacing gold fingers / PCB contour	0,7mm	2,0mm

PC-card

Bevelling of the gold fingers must be avoided; therefore they must have a spacing of min. 0.7mm from the circuit board contour. We recommend connecting gold fingers with 200µm conductor traces at the edge (see diagram). For manufacturing reasons gold fingers are always connected outwards in this manner; if the customer has already done this (in the design), it permits faster processing.

PCI-card

To avoid bevelling the gold fingers, a spacing of 2.0mm from the circuit board contour is recommended for PCI cards. Here as well it is recommended to connect the gold fingers with 200µm conductor traces to the circuit board edge.
