Molex Molex SCSI and SCSI+ Interconnect System

Molex Serial Attach SCSI (SAS) Connector System offers scalability, performance, reliability, and manageability while leveraging a common electrical and physical connection interface with Serial ATA (SATA). The SCSI connector system uses a point-to-point architecture that works in conjunction with PCI express and other high-speed architectures on the market such as SATA. This connector system comes with a vertical SMT SAS plug with 2 different height options and is compliant with 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. The SCSI interconnect system comprises high-temperature thermoplastic housing and solder tab, which provides extra strength in retention to PCB.

The SCSI+ Connector Systems with shielded and unshielded board mount receptacles are available in right-angle, vertical, and straddle mount styles, with optional retention latches and PCB polarizing pegs. The receptacles in the SCSI+ connector system feature surface mount compatible housings with a mating interface of two points of contact and 0.76um (30u") select gold plating with optimum tail true-position control to facilitate board design and assembly. The shielded and unshielded plugs in these connector systems are designed for mounting to 28 AWG discrete wire cable or 0.64mm (.025") centerline 30 AWG ribbon cable, with optional cable strain relief latches. The shielded plugs can be ordered with/without an extended flange to improve over-molding processing. Molex SCSI and SCSI+ connector systems are used in file servers, mainframes, redundant arrays of inexpensive disks tape and disk drives, and workstations.
