minSAS connectors are built around the proven ribbon-style contact. The 0.80 mm pitch of the board mount connectors provides increased I/O density with greater channel capabilities yet requires less space on printed circuit boards. The 36-position receptacle connectors are offered in vertical and right-angle versions for internal board-mount uses, and a 26-position right-angle design for external board mount use. Three different solder tail lengths are offered on the EMI shields.
