SAS Mini Receptacle for Internal Storage Backplanes
The TE Connectivity 1761987-5 is a 38-position SAS Mini receptacle from the EVERCLEAR series, designed for internal storage backplane interconnects in servers and storage arrays.
Board-Guided Assembly and SMT Retention
The integrated board guide helps align the receptacle during pick-and-place, reducing the risk of tombstoning or skewed placement that can happen with an unguided SMT part. Once reflowed, the solder joints carry the mechanical load from the cable — the board guide takes the shear during mating so the signal contacts don't take the hit. The tube packaging feeds into standard tape-and-reel feeders for automated assembly lines.
