SATA Connectors Accelerate Storage Chores

Nov. 7, 2005
Promising smaller, faster, and more reliable storage interfaces than parallel ATA connectors, the Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) connector family are designed on a 1.27-mm, in-line contact pitch and interface with standard 2.5" and 3.5"

Promising smaller, faster, and more reliable storage interfaces than parallel ATA connectors, the Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) connector family are designed on a 1.27-mm, in-line contact pitch and interface with standard 2.5" and 3.5" drives. The components have two interface segments: signal and power. In the signal segment, SATA signals are condensed into a seven-contact format. Signal connectors rely on two differential pairs that are surrounded and separated by three ground contacts (G-SS-G-SS-G). Two pairs serve as transmit and receive contacts, while the three grounds also function as EMLB contacts, making the connectors hot pluggable. The components are available in a seven-position, stand-alone version in a variety of configurations with PCB attachments or in combination with power. For pricing, call 3M ELECTRONICS, Austin, TX.
