Yes, mechanically, but certainly not electrically.
- colejohnson66 5y agoI can’t speak for Apple’s design process, but for me, I’ve thought of and seen some personal projects use PCIe connectors because they’re cheap and have dozens of connections. I even saw a teardown on EEVBlog a while back of a piece of test equipment that used PCIe connectors for board-to-board interconnects. For $2 or so in quantity 1, I can order an x16 connector from DigiKey and have 164 pins to connect two modules together. And being an edge connector, I don’t need one for each board (like “DuPont” or DIN 41612 does). If the board won’t be removed, you could even get away with the free tin plating (skipping gold).
