68-Position SAS/PCIe Receptacle for High-Speed Backplane I/O
The PSAS5F3130081TR is a 68-position SAS/PCIe receptacle connector designed for high-speed serial interface applications. The 68-position count matches the standard SAS/PCIe interface width used in enterprise drive bays and RAID controllers. These are practical additions for a high-volume build — they reduce placement rejects and eliminate the need for secondary hand-soldering touch-up.
SMT Assembly and Tape & Reel Feed
The PSAS5F3130081TR ships in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging with a Cut Tape (CT) option, which means it feeds directly into a standard SMT pick-and-place machine without a tray changeover. For a contract manufacturer running a line, that reel format keeps the feeder bank loaded and the cycle time predictable — no manual handling between reels.
