Product Description
This slimline SATA 13-pin female SMT connector is designed for compact signal and power transmission between PCB and storage devices. The 1.27 mm pitch copper-alloy terminals with gold plating provide low contact resistance and stable data integrity. A high-temperature, UL94 V-0 housing ensures reliable soldering in reflow processes and long-term performance in demanding electronic and electrical equipment.
The footprint and terminal arrangement follow slimline SATA practice, making it suitable for high-density PCB connector layouts where space and height are limited. OEM/ODM customization is available, including different plating thicknesses and integration into complete wire / cable assemblies.

Applications
Optical drive and slim DVD/Blu-ray modules for industrial PCs and embedded systems
2.5" HDD / SSD carrier boards and storage backplanes in server or NAS equipment
Compact automotive infotainment and navigation units requiring SATA-based storage
Test fixtures, docking boards and adapter cards where slimline SATA interfaces are needed
Ensure correct keying and mating orientation to avoid damage to the connector and SATA device.
Observe recommended reflow soldering profile and PCB pad design to maintain coplanarity and solder joint reliability.
Do not exceed specified current and voltage ratings; derate appropriately in high-temperature environments.
Keep terminals clean and free from contamination; avoid repeated unmated exposure to corrosive atmospheres.
