SATA board connector

Added by Scott Whitney over 11 years ago

Hello, We have an application where we are storing data to a SATA drive from our L138. We are in an environment with some vibration and sometimes a bit of a mechanical shock and I am worried about the lack of a latch on the SATA connector. Do you know of a compatible latching board connector that we can swap out for the current one? thanks, Scott

Hi Scott,

Not offhand? Do you require footprint compatible? A quick search on digikey shows there are latching SATA connectors our there.... Something like:

I was looking for something with the same footprint. We have your demo board that we are using in our fixture and I was hoping we could swap out the current connector for a latching one. I had seen those molex connectors and it does not look like they are pin compatible.

Scott,

Just wondering if you found a drop in replacement. We actually just tried doing this on an in-house test fixture here and I selected a Molex 19103 which is pin-compatible however the footprint isn't quite right and the pins had to be bent a little but the connector ended up flush on fully soldered on the board.

If you found a replacement can you post what it was exactly?

Thanks,

Alex

Alex,
I haven't had the opportunity to get a SATA connector for our board. That is the one I was looking at. I like to hear you were able to get it flush on the board. I will look into getting some and trying it out. Thanks, Scott
