Molex Molex SATA Connectors

Molex Serial ATA (SATA) Connectors provide proper matching with different PCB alignment which allows for blind-mating. These Serial ATA (SATA) Connectors offer high speed data transfer rate up to 6.0Gbs and improves airflow and thermal dynamics in an enclosed environment. For external storage, Molex eSATA connectors offer speed advantage, greater possibilities and flexibility. Serial ATA Board-to-Board and Cable-to-Board interconnects support storage applications for desktop, mobile and enterprise computing, and consumer electronics.
