What This SATA Receptacle Does in the Assembly
The Amphenol 10029065-001LF is a 22-position SATA receptacle — the standard combined signal-and-power interface for internal storage drives. It sits on the motherboard or backplane and mates with the SATA drive's plug, carrying both data lanes and the 5 V / 12 V power rails in one connector body. The 22-position count matches the SATA specification's unified signal+power format, so one connector handles the full drive interconnect instead of separate signal and power headers. Surface-mount termination puts it on the reflow side of the board alongside other SMT passives and controllers — no through-hole stubs to complicate the signal path.
What the Gold Plating Tells You About Duty
The solder tail finish is not specified here, but the mating side is the high-wear interface.
Package and Handling — Tray Format
Supplied in tray packaging, which is the standard format for SMT connectors that are too large or irregular for tape-and-reel. The tray protects the contacts and the board guide during transit and presents the parts in a grid that pick-and-place feeders handle directly. No reel quantity to track; trays are counted by piece.
