INPUT/OUTPUT CONNECTORS MINI-SAS HD NEXT GENERATION SAS STORAGE INTERFACE OVERVIEW The Mini-SAS HD product is the next generation SAS storage interface addressing channel bandwidth requirements of 6Gb/s, 12Gb/s and 14Gb/s meeting or exceeding the respective SAS 2.1 and proposed SAS 3.0 specifications. The Mini-SAS HD product provides greater port density (11mm port-to-port) versus the existing Mini- SAS 2.0 product (19.01mm port-to-port). FCIs Mini-SAS HD product is fully compliant to the SFF- 8643 and SFF-8644 industry specifications. Internal and external connector configurations of the Mini-SAS HD product include 1X1 (4x), 1X2 (8x), and 1X4(16x) and enables 4x and 8x internal & external cable assembly solutions which include EEPROM communication. The Mini-SAS HD profile design is PCI Express compatible and can be utilized in PCI Express architecture applications. FEATURES & BENEFITS Hybrid external cables (mini-SAS HD to mini-SAS) allow IMLA based board connector insures compliance to the for backwards compatible cabling with legacy SAS 2.1 & proposed 3.0 electrical performance criteria system hardware I nternal and external board connector and cable assemblies provide end-to-end application solutions TARGET MARKETS/APPLICATIONS 1X1, 1X2 and 1X4 connector/cage assemblies offer product Data family design flexibility Servers RAID systems All board connectors and configurations are fully 6G and 12G compliant allowing for use of same part numbers Storage racks when system speeds increase from 6G to 12G External storage systems Metal cages on the external connector and cables provide SAS/SATA HBA interfaces 360 EMI shielding and replaces problematic EMC Direct-attached storage (DAS) elastomeric gaskets Communications Cable assemblies offered in 4x and 8x configurations Switches Eye-of-the-needle connector and cage single step termination yields consistent application to the PCB The external cable strain relief results in an axial pull force in excess of 20lbs Cable latch design reduces cable insertion force and un-mating issues Pull tabs are available in multiple lengths in Pantone 279 color to meet many application needs Positive stop feature on the casting prevents external cable assembly mating over-travel MINI - SAS HD NEXT GENERATION SAS STORAGE INTERFACE TECHNICAL INFORMATION MATERIALS MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE Board receptacle contact: Copper alloy Durability: 250 cycles Boar d receptacle housing: Thermoplastic high SPECIFICATIONS temperature UL94V-0 External Cable to Board Connector System Board receptacle plating: Gold over Nickel Product Spec: GS-12-651 Plug paddle card: Copper/FR4 Gold over Application Spec: GS-20-0327 Nickel plating Internal Cable to Board Connector System ELECTRICAL PERFORMANCE Product Spec: GS-12-650 Impedance: 100 +/- 15 Application Spec: GS-20-0356 V oltage rating: 30 V AC (RMS)/DC max.
