Micro SATA Connectors
Molex
introduces the
Micro Serial ATA
(
SATA
)
interconnect
solution for 1.8" form factor drives and backplane applications.
In April 2007, the
Serial ATA
International Organization (
SATA-IO
) announced the release of new specs for the
SATA interconnect
solutions. The new 2.6 revision covers the addition of new features to the specs making
SATA
available for new applications. One of the new features is the provision for the application of 1.8"
SATA
form factor drives in laptop computers, set top box and game console.
Molex Micro SATA
connectors are compliant to
SATA-IO
standards with respect to the mating interface. These standards define features such as 7 signal pins, 9 power pins with power segment key, staggered contact lengths for hot plugging, guide posts and pockets for blind-mating, friction locking for cabling and high data-transfer rate of
3.0Gbps
. The combo device plug supports internal 5.00mm and 8.00mm slim 1.8" form factor drives while the right angle
Micro SATA
combo
receptacle
supports
backplane
applications.
The connectors contained in this release are ELV and RoHS compliant. They are also lead free process compatible.
Molex is an active member of the
SATA-IO
. The working group is responsible for developing and specifying
Serial ATA interconnect
standards.
