The SATA 15P Female Connector features a puncture-type terminal design for 18AWG wire, offering stable wire-to-terminal contact for power and signal applications. The terminals are plated with ≥50µ” nickel, while the contact area is finished with 15µ” gold to ensure reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance.
The connector housing is made of UL94-V0 rated PBT (20%GF), providing excellent mechanical strength and heat resistance. It supports an operating temperature range of –20°C to +85°C and maintains performance in demanding environments.
Electrical performance includes 1.5A @ 40VAC rated current, ≤30mΩ contact resistance, ≥1000MΩ insulation resistance, and 500VAC withstand voltage. Mechanical reliability is supported by ≤45N mating force, ≥15N unmating force, and ≥0.8Kgf pin retention force, ensuring secure and stable connections.
This connector is suitable for wire-to-board SATA power applications, servers, storage devices, and various electronic equipment requiring stable power and signal transmission. It is RoHS 2.0 compliant.

⚙️ Applications
- Server & Data Center Equipment – Used as SAS / SATA electronic signal and power connectors on HDD/SSD backplanes, RAID cards, JBOD/NAS and 1U/2U server boards.
- Communication & Networking Systems – For routers, switches, base stations and other networking equipment that need compact PCB connectors and reliable high-speed transmission.
- Industrial & Automation Electronics – Applied in industrial PCs, PLCs, motion controllers, data loggers and test instruments as PCB-to-wire or cable connectors.
- Automotive & New Energy Applications – Used in in-vehicle data recorders, infotainment units, EV chargers and energy-storage systems for signal and low-power transmission.
- Custom Wire Harness & Cable Assemblies – Suitable for OEM/ODM projects that require connector customization for PCB, wire and cable layouts in electrical and electronic devices.
⚠️ Notes
- Make sure the working voltage, current and temperature of your design stay within the connector’s rated values, with proper safety margin.
- Design PCB pads, holes and mechanical space according to the drawing and pitch, and avoid bending or twisting stress on the connector after soldering or assembly.
- Select appropriate wire gauge, insulation and cable structure based on current load, signal speed and bending requirements for both power and signal terminals.
- For IDC / crimp types, use matched tooling and press-force to ensure full insulation displacement; for solder types, follow a controlled soldering profile to avoid overheating the LCP housing.
- Insert and pull out the connector along the mating direction, avoid pulling on the cable itself, and do not exceed the specified mating/unmating force or durability cycles.
- Keep gold-plated contact areas clean and dry, avoid touching them with bare fingers, and store products in dry anti-static packaging before assembly.
