22-Position SATA Receptacle with Press-Fit Termination
The Molex 0877011001 is a 22-position SATA receptacle from the 87701 series, designed for internal storage interconnect in servers, storage arrays, and backplane assemblies. It uses press-fit termination — the compliant pin compresses into a plated through-hole without solder, which keeps the assembly lead-free and makes rework straightforward if a pin gets bent during installation.
Press-Fit and Through-Hole Mounting
Press-fit termination means the connector pushes into the board — no wave solder, no flux residue, no thermal stress on the housing. The through-hole mounting style anchors the receptacle against the insertion force of a SATA cable plug. For a backplane or a drive-carrier board where soldering every connector is impractical, this is the termination that keeps the assembly line moving.
