4.2 Serial ATA device plug connector pin definitions
Table 7 summarizes the signals on the Serial ATA interface and power connectors.
Notes:
1. All pins are in a single row, with a 1.27mm (0.050 in) pitch.
2. The comments on the mating sequence apply to the case of backplane blindmate connector only. In this
case, the mating sequences are:
• the ground pins P4 and P12.
• the pre-charge power pins and the other ground pins.
• the signal pins and the rest of the power pins.
3. There are three power pins for each voltage. One pin from each voltage is used for pre-charge when
installed in a blind-mate backplane configuration.
4. All used voltage pins (V
x
) must be terminated.
