Board-Level Connectors

ACCURATE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSING TO OPTIMIZE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE The RotaSense™ 2 Position Temperature Sensor Connector is a cost-effective, two-piece Temperature Sensor Connector that accurately measures ambient temperatures. It optimizes fan speed, and ensures precise control of operating temperatures.

The Rugged R-SATA style connector is perfectly suited as the primary internal storage interconnect for desktop and mobile PCs, connecting the system to peripherals such as hard drives, solid-state drives, optical drives, and removable magnetic media drives. The R-SATA supports SATA 3.0 protocol, delivering 6.25 Gb/s data rates & beyond.

Amphenol’s R-VPX is a ruggedized, high-speed, board-to-board interconnect system capable of data rates in excess of 10 Gbps, meeting and exceeding VITA 46 standards. 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.
