The connector style is a receptacle, meaning it is the board-mounted half that accepts the plug from the cable or drive carrier. The housing integrates a board guide and a mating guide, which together provide alignment during blind-mate insertion into a midplane — this prevents contact stubbing when the receptacle is not directly visible during assembly. The pick-and-place feature means the part is compatible with automated SMT placement equipment, with vacuum-pick area designed into the top surface. ## Surface-Mount Termination and Automated Assembly Readiness Termination is solder-only, surface-mount, with no press-fit or through-hole option on this order code. The board guide and mating guide are integral to the housing — no separate alignment hardware is needed, which saves board real estate around the footprint.","metaTitle":"TE 2358336-2 SAS/PCIe Receptacle, 68 Pos, SMT, Gold","metaDescription":"TE 2358336-2 SAS/PCIe receptacle, 68 positions, SMT, gold 30.0µin plating.
