This connector system gives users modularity and flexibility by utilizing PCB wafer construction with customized wafer-loading patterns.

Capable of 16+ Gbps data rate transfer and meets VITA 46 & 47 performance requirements.

Qualified to data rates in excess of 32Gb/s. Fastest VITA 46.30 connectors in the world.

SAS 3.0 connectors for next-generation servers with 12Gb/s speeds. The 29-position receptacle and plug connectors feature hot-plugging and blind-mating, connector misalignment compensation, and a PCB retention mechanism for robust SMT attachment. It is SATA compliant and meets a wide range of vertical and R/A configurations for usage across server and storage equipment, HDDs, and HDD carriers.

SAS 4.0 connectors for next-generation servers with 24Gb/s speeds. The 29-position receptacle & plug connectors feature hot-plugging & blind-mating, connector misalignment compensation, and a PCB retention mechanism for robust SMT attachment. It is SATA compliant and meets a wide range of vertical and R/A configurations for usage across server and storage equipment, HDDs, HDD carriers, and SSDs.

SAS/PCIe 3.0 connectors are designed for next-generation servers with 12Gb/s speeds. The 68-position, SAS/PCIe receptacle, and header enable high-speed Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk drive (HDD) interface as well as Peripheral Component Express (PCIe)-based devices. These connectors are backward compatible with 6Gb/s SAS, SATA, and 3Gb/s SFF8482 connectors.

SAS/PCIe® 4.0 (U.2 & U.3) connectors come with 16GT/s (PCIe® lanes) or 24Gb/s (SAS lanes) speeds to meet the demands of next-generation servers. The 68-position, SAS/PCIe® receptacle and header enable implementation of high-speed SAS hard disk drive (HDD) interface as well as PCIe®-based devices. The molded guidepost allows the device plug and receptacle to self-align during the mating process.

SAS/PCIe 5.0 (U.2 & U.3) connectors come with 32GT/s (PCIe lanes) and 24Gb/s (SAS lanes) speeds to meet the demands of next-generation servers. The 68-position, SAS/PCIe receptacle and header enable implementation of high-speed Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk drive (HDD) interface as well as Peripheral Component Express (PCIe)-based devices.

Amphenol offers a wide range of high-performance SATA connectors. They are designed to support up to 12Gb/s, enabling the implementation of low cost, high speed, high capacity hard disk drive (HDD). The connectors are SATA compliant and meet a wide range of vertical and right-angle configurations for usage across server and storage equipment, HDDs, and HDD carriers.

SCA-2 connectors consist of headers and receptacles that enable the hard disk drive to backplane interface in enterprise storage systems. The header resides on the HDD while the receptacle is attached to the backplane. 40pos SCA-2 receptacles are designed to accept Fibre Channel drives, while 80pos receptacle accepts SCSI drives.
