FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS 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 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. Serial Attached SCSI 1.27mm (.050") Pitch 29 Circuit SAS Plug 78012 – Vertical SMT Extended Height 10.88mm 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.
