Micro SATA Connectors Molex Micro Serial ATA (SATA) Connectors provide an interconnect solution for 1.8' SATA form factor drives in laptop computers, set-top boxes, and game consoles. These connectors comply with SATA-IO standards with respect to the mating interface. These standards define features such as seven signal pins, nine power pins with power segment key, staggered contact lengths for hot plugging, guide posts and pockets for blind-mating, friction locking for cabling, and high data-transfer rate of 3Gbps. Molex Micro SATA connectors are constructed with high-temperature thermoplastic housing. Molex is an active member of the SATA-IO.
