MINI-SAS
HIGH DENSITY
Connectors & Cable Assemblies
TE Connectivity’s (TE’s) Mini-SAS HD (high density) product family includes compact, high-speed
I/O solutions for SAS applications: storage, rack-mount servers, workstations, storage racks, high
performance computing, HBAs (host bus adapters), RAID (redundant arrays of inexpensive disks),
switches and more. The product family supports speeds up to 12 Gb/s and includes the following
interfaces:
•
Internal receptacles and copper cable assemblies
•
External receptacles and copper cable assemblies
The interfaces are adopted for the SAS-2.1 and SAS-3 standards. The reduced size of the interconnects
saves additional 30% to 50% PCB space; a low profile PCIe card can accomodate 4 Mini-SAS HD
connectors versus 2 SAS connectors.

Internal Mini-SAS HD Connector
TE’s internal Mini-SAS HD connector is a 12 Gb/s highdensity, high-speed interface capable of supporting an
aggregate data rate of 48 Gb/s per connector (12G x 4
lanes) with a version capable of transferring an aggregate
data rate of 192 Gb/s. Designed to be approximately 30 %
smaller than conventional internal Mini-SAS connectors,
the internal Mini-SAS HD connector enables you to save
precious PCB space. Additionally, the connector has been

External Applications
External Mini-SAS HD Copper Cable Assembly
The passive direct attach external Mini-SAS HD copper cable assembly is designed for broadband operation optimized for 6 and
12 Gb/s. The EEPROM signature enables the host to identify what
type and length of cable is connected to its port, and can be customized for any application. An improved latch design reduces
the insertion force and increases the retention force. MADISON
