Mini-SAS HD Connectors Amphenol FCI Mini-SAS HD Connectors are part of a SAS-based storage I/O system that allows for the signal transmission 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 standards increase linear board density while doubling the maximum per-port aggregate bandwidth. All board connector systems are fully compliant to SAS 2.1 and proposed SAS 3.0, allowing users to seamlessly move from SAS 2.1 to SAS 3.0 without any part number or design changes. Both systems are terminated to the PCB via eye-of-the-needle terminations in a single-step process.
