“A family of RoHS-compliant(a) Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) Connectors has been introduced by the 3M Electronic Solutions Division. The 3M Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) Connector family provides smaller, faster and more reliable solutions for storage interface than parallel ATA connectors. They are particularly useful for high-speed interfaces for optical, solid state and hard disk drive (HDD) applications aimed at reducing size, increasing transmission speed, improving data reliability and ease of use. The company’s RoHS-compliant connectors replace 3M’s existing SATA connector line. The 3M SATA Connector components were designed on a 1.27 mm (.050″) in-line contact pitch. All 3M SATA Connectors are designed to interface with standard 2.5″ and 3.5″ HDD.” More
