Figure 3. Interface connector pin assignments

All pins are in a single row, with a 127 mm(.050”) pitch.

The comments on the mating sequence in Table in the section 7.3 apply to the case of back-plane blind-mate connector only. In this case, the mating sequences are:(1)the ground pins P4 and P12;(2) the pre-charge power pins and the other ground pins; and (3) the signal pins and the rest of the power pins.

There are three power pins for each voltage. One pin from each voltage is used for pre-charge in the backplane blind-mate situation.

If a device uses 3.3V, then all V33 pins must be terminated. Otherwise, it is optional to terminate any of the V33 pins

If a device uses 5.0V, then all V5 pins must be terminated. Otherwise, it is optional to terminate any of the V5 pins

If a device uses 12.0V, then all V12 pins must be terminated. Otherwise, it is optional to terminate any of the V12 pins.
