PCIeTest
About the PCIeTest PCB
PCIeTest is an open source PCB design by mengstr, published on GitHub under the CC0-1.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 100 × 100 mm, with 15 components from 6 distinct parts.
By type, the board carries 9 connectors, 2 capacitors, 1 diode and 1 resistor.
From the project
A test PCB having a dual PCIe-36 connector and card edge connectors.
A simple PCB to test the 30 cent PCIe connectors from Mouser (SKU 649-1001878410200TLF). The PCB should be 1.6 mm to fit the connector.\
The PCB is meant to be split into two parts. The bottom part have the edgeconnector and a small DIP prototype area. The top parts holds the PCIe connectors and all five of them should be chained together into a backplane using wires going to card to card forming a bus.
