Introduced: ept Colibri 25+ Gbps high-speed connectors!

The demand for connectors capable of high-speed data transmissions was constantly growing, leading to an expansion in the range offered by connector manufacturer ept. The Colibri high-speed connector was available not only in the 16 Gbps version but also in the 25+ Gbps version. It met the requirements of the COM Express specification and was therefore suitable for applications by USB 3.1 Gen2 and PCIe 4.0. The Colibri connector was suitable not only for industrial automation but also for medical and measurement technology, building technology, consumer electronics, gaming, transportation, and automotive electronics.

High-speed signal flow in the Colibri connector


ept offered samples and S-parameters of the Colibri to interested parties at Embedded World 2024 in Nuremberg.


Like the previous versions, the Colibri 25+ Gbps was available for a PCB spacing of 5 or 8 mm. Plug and receptacle were offered by ept with 220 pins—a 440-pin version, consisting of two plugs or receptacles with 220 pins each, was held together in a placement frame. The Colibri 25+ Gbps was planned to be available in 80 and 120-pin versions. The connectors of the different generations would be layout- and plug-compatible with each other.

Whenever high data transfer rates were required, the Colibri was the connector of choice: the small high-speed professional was primarily used in mezzanine board-to-board systems and COM Express specifications.


By continuously optimizing the plug's contact design, ept succeeded in developing a high-speed connector with the Colibri 25+ Gbps that was not only compatible with PCI Express Gen4 but also enabled excellent signal quality and was, therefore, a better alternative to the more interference-prone USB 4.0. In addition, the Colibri with 25+ Gbps was ideal for Ethernet applications, as a data transfer rate of 100 Gbps could be achieved by connecting several lines in parallel.
