Amphenol FCI SAS/PCIe® 6.0 (U.2/SFF8639) Connector
Amphenol FCI SAS/PCIe® 6.0 (U.2/SFF8639) Connector features high-speed 64Gb/s PAM4 design for next-generation servers and storage. This connector features a 68‑position receptacle and plug, which enables the implementation of a high‑speed Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk drive (HDD) interface. The SAS/PCIe 6.0 (U.2/SFF8639) connector also supports implementation of Peripheral Component Express (PCIe®) based devices. This connector provides a molded guidepost that allows the device plug and receptacle to self-align during mating.
The SAS/PCIe® 6.0 (U.2/SFF8639) connector features a halogen-free, high-temperature thermoplastic to withstand diverse conditions. This connector offers a durability of 500 mating cycles. Typical applications include HDD, HDD carrier, external storage system, interposer card, server, and storage server.
Features
- Compatible with the SFF8639 specification
- Receptacles are inter-mateable with unshielded dual-port SFF8680 (SAS 3.0/SAS 4.0) connectors
- Flexibility in component selection
- Enables SFF8630, SFF8680, and SFF8432 interface
- Implementation of high-speed Solid State Drives (SSDs) and Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) allows compatibility between unshielded dual and multiport interfaces
- Backward compatible with 12Gb/s, 6Gb/s SAS, and U.2 Gen 4/5 connectors
- Same interface can be used for cost-effective storage HDDs as well as higher-performance server SSDs
- Up to 4-port 64Gb/s (PAM4) PCIe-based devices improve performance and faster file transfers
- Supports both SAS and U.2 NVME drives
- Staggered contact lengths provide sequential contact mating for hot plugging
- Stamped clips act as connector retainers for robust PCB attachment, providing additional mechanical strength after soldering
- Molded guideposts help mating halves to self-align by providing angled lead-ins, which compensate for connector misalignment
