Mar 02, 2005 Vertical, 29-position Connectors enable implementation of Serial Attached SCSI hard disk drive interface. Staggered contact lengths provide sequential mating of contacts to enable hot plugging. Molded guide posts feature angled lead-in to compensate for connector misalignment, allowing device plug and backplane receptacle to self align during mating process. Options are available for through-hole solder, press fit, surface-mount, or hybrid termination.

May 14, 2002 Dual Stack Ultra+(TM) VHDCI .80 mm connectors meet ANSI/SFF-8441 and SPI-4 requirements while supporting HBA applications. They have 136 circuits in 2-row configuration. Optional cover eliminates risk of electrical shorts to panels or adjacent printed circuit boards. Panel grounding tabs provide ground path to panel or bracket for maximum EMI protection. Terminals with lead-ins have large radius, minimizing stubbing while improving plug insertion.
