FCI unleashes Micro SATA connectors

Tag : Micro Line
FCI has expanded its line of storage interface interconnects withthe development of the Micro SATA interconnect solution for 1.8"form factor drives and portable applications that meets the SerialATA International Organization (SATA-IO) newly released 2.6revision specification. Micro SATA connectors comply with SATA-IOstandards with respect to the mating interface and are compatiblewith applications such as notebook PCs, set-top boxes, gamesconsoles, audio/video and portable storage.
With staggered contact lengths as well as guide posts and pocketsthis connector can support hot-plugging and blind-mating of 1.8"form factor drives. The Micro SATA connector meets SFF 2.6specification with 16 positions (7 positions with 1.27mm pitch forsignal and 7+2 positions with 1.27mm pitch for power) requirements.The plug connector supports both internal 5.00mm and 8.00mmslim-type 1.8" form factor drives (such as HDD or SSD) while theright angle Micro SATA receptacle connector supports systemapplications. The Micro SATA connector is RoHS-compliant,compatible with lead-free processing temperatures and the retainersprovide additional mechanical strength after soldering.
