SAS 29 Pin Female Socket SMT Connector with Positioning Column & Fishhook | Gold-Plated for High-Speed Data Systems, Automotive & Storage Applications

The SAS 29P Female Socket SMT Connector is engineered to provide high-speed, reliable data transmission in storage devices, automotive electronics, and industrial applications. This connector features gold-plated contact areas (≥30μ") ensuring superior conductivity, along with matte tin-plated solder areas (≥80μ") for stable and durable PCB mounting.

Constructed with LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) housing, rated UL94-V0, this connector resists high-temperature environments during reflow soldering processes. The terminals are made from PH.Bronze, which provides strength and stable electrical connections for applications requiring long-term reliability.

Its 1.27mm pin pitch allows for compact and high-density PCB layouts, ideal for high-speed data transmission and efficient power distribution. Rated for 1.5A @ 40VAC, this connector ensures the stable transmission of signals, even in harsh electrical environments. The connector also offers excellent mechanical retention force (≥1.0 Kgf per pin), allowing for secure connections that withstand up to 1,000 mating cycles.

The connector operates across a wide temperature range of -20°C to +85°C, making it suitable for a variety of industrial, automotive, and data storage applications. Compliance with RoHS 2.0 and Halogen-Free standards ensures that this connector meets global environmental requirements.

⚠️ Notes

• Ensure the PCB layout aligns with the 1.27mm pin pitch and recommended hole size for optimal fit.
• Follow proper soldering profiles to avoid LCP housing deformation during reflow soldering.
• Maintain clean contact areas free from oxidation or contamination to ensure optimal electrical performance.
• Verify that contact resistance and insulation resistance meet your specific application requirements.
• Avoid excessive mechanical force during mating and unmating to protect terminal integrity.
• Store connectors in ESD-protected environments to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
• Keep connectors in dry, anti-static packaging until they are ready for use to avoid damage during handling.
