Amphenol CS SAS PCIe 5.0 connectors
Amphenol CS announces SAS PCIe 5.0 connectors
SAS/PCIe® 5.0 (U.2 or 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® receptacles, and headers enable the implementation of high-speed Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Hard Disk Drive (HDD) interface as well as Peripheral Component Express (PCIe®)-based devices. The molded guide post allows the device plug and receptacle to self-align during the mating process. With a halogen-free high-temperature thermoplastic, these connectors are made to withstand diverse conditions. It also offers a durability of 500 mating cycles.
- Compatible with SFF8639 specification
- Capable of meeting 24Gb/s SSDs and HDDs or PCle® based devices at 32GT/s
- Footprint backward compatible with 12G, 6G and 3G SAS connectors
