Molex offers the Vertical SMT Plug solution for Serial Attach SCSI (SAS)
The capabilities of Serial Attach SCSI (SAS) have been developed to meet the
evolving challenges of high end server applications. These challenges include
scalability, performance, reliability and manageability, while leveraging a
common electrical and physical connection interface with Serial ATA (SATA).
This compatibility provides users with unprecedented choices for server and
subsystem deployment.
SAS Plug
78012
– Vertical SMT
Extended Height 10.88mm
SAS uses a point-to-point architecture which works in conjunction with PCI
express and other high-speed architectures on the market such as SATA. Both
SAS and SATA drives are compatible with SAS Backplane receptacles. Molex
offers a wide range of PCB attachment and size options for these SAS
applications.
78164
– Vertical SMT
Standard Height 7.88mm
In extending the product offerings, Molex has developed a vertical SMT SAS
plug with 2 different height options. It is compliant to SAS inter-mating
features such as 7 signal pins each on both port 1 and port 2, 15 power pins,
and staggered contact length for hot-plugging. This plug is ELV and RoHS
compliant. It is also lead free process compatible.
Molex is an active contributor to the INCITS T10 Technical Committee (SCSI)
specifically in the SFF Working Group. This insures that all of Molex’s SAS
products conform to SFF8482 and SFF8484 specifications.
