Disk drive connectors have the right
angle
A range of 29-position right-angle receptacle connectors enable attachment of Serial Attached SCSI HDDs to processor blades, storage blades, mezzanine cards or embedded system boards.
FCI has developed a range of 29-position, right-angle receptacle connectors for attaching Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk drives (HDDs) to processor blades, storage blades, mezzanine cards, or embedded system boards in data, communications and industrial equipment The raised receptacle openings are offset from the top surface of the carrier board to provide clearance for components to be mounted beneath an installed hard drive

Connector improves medical imaging
The MEG-Array High-Density Mezzanine System provides the features needed for MRI, CT, and other imaging applications to achieve real-time, high-resolution imaging.
Nominally 4.7mm clearance is provided under a 2.5in hard drive.
FCI offers options for through-hole solder or surface mount termination allowing designers to choose the termination technique best suited to their board design and planned manufacturing process.
Each connector also features stamped retention clips that provide additional mechanical strength and stability after soldering.
The high-speed, serial interface is designed to support differential signalling, initially at speeds of 3.0Gbit/s.
The SAS receptacle accepts either SAS or SATA (Serial ATA) drives, giving the system manufacturer the option to deploy cost-effective SATA drives or higher-performance SAS drives for mission-critical applications.
The right-angle SAS receptacle connectors are RoHS-compatible.
