Molex SAS-3 and U.2* (SFF-8639) Backplane Connectors

Developed for optimized cost savings and design flexibility, Molex SAS-3 and U.2 Backplane Connectors provide high-speed compatibility for future upgrades without the need for footprint revisions.

Features and Benefits

• Dual-port, SAS-3 connectors meeting 12 Gbps data rates makes possible 1 million IOPS (Input/Output/Operations per Second), leaving ample headroom for further speed advancements in storage devices
• 12 Gbps SAS and 8 GT/s� PCI Express (PCIe) signaling (all U.2 Connectors) combine the latest enhancements of SAS 3.0and U.2 technologies to suit Solid State Device (SDD) applications
• Common PCB footprint for right-angle SAS-3 and U.2 receptacles enables footprint compatibility for future connector upgrades without PCB revision costs
• Wide range of mating height and PCB-mounting and retention configurations offers greater flexibility in designing host-side server storage applications
• Drop-in replacement for competing makes in the storage device market available for multi-sourcing
