The [[ZX Spectrum+ 128K]] [[:category:Edge Connectors|expansion connector]] is a double sided card edge connector with a 0.1 inch spacing. The two rows of conductors are numbered from right to left looking into the rear of the computer.

One pair of conductors are missing as there is an [[#Key Slot|indexing slot]] cut out of the circuit board.

==The ZX Spectrum +2==
The [[ZX Spectrum +2]] uses the same pinout as the [[ZX Spectrum+ 128K Edge Connector|Spectrum+ 128K]] with the exception of Lower pin 13 which is connected to the [[#!IORQULA|!IORQGE]] input.

The !CK signal, sometimes referred to as PHICPU is available on Lower Pin 8. This clock signal is generated by the [[The Spectrum ULA|ULA]] and is interrupted during [[contended memory]] access. This clock signal is inverted by a transistor switch to provide a clean clock edge for the Z80.
