Confirm PCB pad layout, pin assignment and keying direction before production.
Avoid exceeding recommended current and temperature limits on power pins.
Ensure proper strain-relief on mating cable harness to prevent solder-joint stress.
Product Description
This PCB SATA female connector is designed for compact board-to-wire applications where reliable power and high-speed signal transmission are critical. Fine-pitch copper-alloy terminals with selective gold plating provide low contact resistance and stable impedance for HDD/SSD data lines, while robust ground and power pins support continuous current in demanding server, industrial and automation systems. The SMT right-angle housing saves vertical space and allows easy routing on dense PCB layouts. Reinforced solder-tabs and a rigid thermoplastic body improve vibration resistance and long-term mechanical stability. The connector can be supplied as part of a customized cable assembly, matching specific wire gauges, jackets and harness layouts.
