Orientation

How to read this profile

The family includes vertical and right-angle receptacles and anti-reverse features; V48 does not collapse its multiple pinout variants into one face-view map.

Recorded variant and source limits
  • MCIO circuit count, lane count and pinout are variant-specific; no single universal contact count or assignment is published here.
  • PCIe generation capability is an implementation/system property and is not inferred from shell recognition alone.
