The miniSAS system provides board designers with a variety of options. The connectors are offered in vertical and right-angle versions for internal board-mount uses; and a right-angle design for external board mount uses. Three different tail lengths are offered on the EMI/RFI shields – straight or kinked tails for through-hole boards and gullwing for surface mount boards, as shown here. Connectors are plated with 30u” gold at the termination area providing more reliability for high mating cycles. All 3M™ connectors are RoHS compliant.
