Circuit Assembly now offers an extensive line of Serial ATA products including a wide range of receptacles and plugs as well as cable assemblies (signal, power and unitised) built to customer specifications, using multiple connector configurations and custom cable lengths.

Circuit Assembly, the creator of CA patented Parallel ATA technology, has devoted vast amounts of time, energy and resources to advance its ongoing Serial ATA interconnect development and is committed to deliver superior products with competitive pricing.

Serial ATA technology was designed to succeed the Ultra ATA parallel interface.

Serial ATA connectors and cable assemblies are used for the storage interface of desktop PCs, mobile PCs, set-top boxes, entry servers, as well as networked storage devices.

Some of the key features of Circuit Assembly's Serial ATA products include: products meet or exceed SATA Errata 029 specifications; the low-profile connector design uses less space on PC boards; high-temperature thermoplastic is used for surface mount applications; and receptacles and host plugs are available in multiple configurations, such as surface mount, through hole and compliant pin.

Circuit Assembly's Serial ATA cable assemblies provide top quality Serial ATA interconnect solutions.

The new generation cable assemblies feature small form factor and low profile for limited-space applications, low pin count using serial data transmission, secure mating and thin flexible cables for easy routing.

The signal assemblies are available with right-angle and straight cable exits, in multiple configurations and custom cable lengths.

Power assemblies are available in dual-ended four-wire and single-ended five-wire configurations with custom cable lengths.

The Unitised cable assemblies are available with custom cable lengths and a unique mechanical mounting option.
