SM3 Series M.2 (NGFF) Connector

There is a growing demand for compact slim and high-speed transmission compatible module card connectors, so JAE developed the SM3 Series card-edge connector to meet this need. The SM3 Series is a small size card-edge connector for mobile devices that offers significant space savings. The SM3 is also compatible with the PCI-SIG, PCI Express M.2 specification, supporting multiple modules, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and solid-state drives.

The SM3 Series is available in two heights. For the product with the higher profile, 1mm height components can be mounted below the module, and the reduced mounting space contributes to greater board designing freedom for customers.

The SM3 Series is also lead-free, halogen-free and RoHS-compliant.
