Backplane Connector is designed as SATA drive interface.
Construction Equipment and Supplies

Backplane Connector is designed as SATA drive interface.

Featuring staggered contact lengths, 22-position, vertical backplane receptacle connectors enable implementation of Serial ATA (SATA) HDD interface. Molded guide posts and self aligning design facilitate hot plugging and blind mating of HDDs. Seven contacts that comprise SATA port support differential signaling, initially at speeds of 1.5 Gbps, and power segment of SATA backplane receptacle uses...

Backplane Connector System uses co-planar connectors.
Construction Equipment and Supplies

Backplane Connector System uses co-planar connectors.

AirMax VSÂ-® uses air as dielectric between adjacent conductors. Insert Molded Leadframe Assembly enables same connector to be used for differential pair signals, single ended signals, or power. AirMax VS allows for any allocation of signals within one connector so systems can grow from 2.5-25 Gb/s without requiring redesign. Two-piece header-receptacle is available in 150- and 120-position...

Backplane Receptacle Connectors support speeds of 3 Gbps.
Construction Equipment and Supplies

Backplane Receptacle Connectors support speeds of 3 Gbps.

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...

Connector Modules each offer voltage rating of 150 V.
Construction Equipment and Supplies

Connector Modules each offer voltage rating of 150 V.

MetralÂ-® High Power Modules are right-angle daughtercard connectors with 1 x 2 or 2 x 2 contact configurations per 12 mm module and total current-carrying capacity of 80 A. Contacts are flat except for minimal forming at plug connector's mating interfaces, which enables use of high conductivity base metal. Airflow passages in insulating connector bodies allow air to flow through fully mated...
