2.5 ATA interface connector

The drive connector is a 44-conductor connector with 2 rows of 22 male pins on 0.079-inch (2 mm) centers (see Figure 4 on page 21 and Figure 5). The mating cable connector is a 44-conductor, nonshielded connector with 2 rows of 22 female contacts on 0.079-inch (2 mm) centers. The connectors should provide strain relief and should be keyed with a plug in place of pin 20.

These drives are designed to support the industry-standard SFF-8200 mounting specifications. When installing these drives in fixed mounting applications, use only SFF-compatible connectors such as Molex part number 87368-442x. For applications that involve flexible cables or printed circuit cables (PCCs), use Molex part number 87259-4413 or equivalent to connect the drive to the system. Select a connector that provides adequate clearance for the master/slave configuration jumpers if the application requires the use of such jumpers. The ATA interface cable should be no more than 18 inches long.

Note. Per SFF 8004 specifications, the I/O connector pins may extend up to 0.015 inches beyond the edge of the head/disc assembly.
