The Amphenol PSASF3130411TR is a 68-position SAS/PCIe receptacle from the PSASF series, designed for internal high-speed serial data interconnects in server, storage, and enterprise networking gear. The connector style is a receptacle, meaning it is the board-mounted half that accepts the mating plug from a cable assembly or backplane.
Key Assembly Features for SMT Lines
This part ships in Tape & Reel (TR) or Cut Tape (CT) packaging, which feeds directly into pick-and-place machines. The connector includes a set of features that simplify automated assembly: a board guide to align the part during placement, a mating guide to help align the plug during field installation, a pick-and-place surface for the vacuum nozzle, and solder retention features that hold the connector in place during reflow before the solder joints solidify.
