P298 / Storage / Connector
TE Connectivity documents a 52-position, 0.8 mm centerline connector for Mini PCI Express and mSATA applications.
Also called Mini PCIe Mini PCI Express mSATA socket 52-position mini card
The shared 52-position socket family does not make Mini PCIe and mSATA electrically interchangeable; host implementation still controls supported signals.
Confirm the 52-position Mini PCI Express/mSATA socket family and read the host documentation before assuming whether the slot carries PCIe, SATA or both.

A shared socket description is not a host-interface verdict. Kingston distinguishes SATA-only mSATA from M.2, while TE describes a particular socket for Mini PCI Express and mSATA.

Identify the card and motherboard socket by their exact documentation.
Still unresolved
The host’s wired interface is unknown until its manual identifies the supported function.

C298A (private workspace) — TE Connectivity product 1759513-1 is described as a 52-position, 0.8 mm centerline board-to-board connector for Mini PCI Express and mSATA.
V50 identification fact only; no wiring, protocol compatibility, installation or fabrication approval is inferred.
C298C (private workspace) — Kingston distinguishes M.2 from mSATA: mSATA uses SATA, while M.2 includes SATA and PCIe options and does not use the same physical connector. A shared Mini PCIe/mSATA socket outline still does not establish the host’s wired interface.
Kingston SSD FAQ reinspection on 8 October 2026 plus the existing TE 52-position socket example; inherited source dates unchanged. Not a universal Mini PCIe/mSATA host compatibility result.
Source interpretation is not independent engineering review, hardware testing, wiring advice or a public-release approval.
Not from the socket outline alone. Manufacturer component data records a 52-position mini-card interface, while Kingston’s M.2/SSD guidance warns that physically related small-card connector systems can differ in host wiring and supported protocols. A labeled mini PCIe slot does not independently establish mSATA signaling or storage boot support.
Using a passive adapter or buying an mSATA SSD on the premise that matching pins imply matching signals.

Read the view
No actual socket face, keyed module view or board footprint is depicted.
Label-led symbol — not interface geometry. Read the exact designation and written reference; do not identify a physical connector by this generic shape.
About the marks: The projections are not the documented fifty-two positions.
What it cannot establish: This generic symbol does not establish a Mini PCIe or mSATA signal implementation and is not an M.2 drawing.
Enlargement changes display size only. It does not reveal measured geometry, a pin assignment or an approved mating combination.

How to read connector illustrations →The useful distinction
TE Connectivity documents a 52-position, 0.8 mm centerline connector for Mini PCI Express and mSATA applications. [C298A]
Kingston distinguishes M.2 from mSATA: mSATA uses SATA, while M.2 includes SATA and PCIe options and does not use the same physical connector. A shared Mini PCIe/mSATA socket outline still does not establish the host’s wired interface. [C298C]
TE drawing C-1759513 revision E2 supplies separate Mini PCI Express and mSATA signal-assignment tables for the socket family; one housing does not imply one interface assignment. [C298D]
The socket views in C-1759513 show two contact rows interrupted by an offset key, with short and long contact banks; the study is of the board socket, not a miniature M.2 module. [C298E]
C-1759513 sheet 2 separates half-size and full-size card mounting keepouts, so the socket alone does not describe the complete module-retention arrangement. [C298F]
Molex’s cited Mini PCI Express connector drawing identifies 52 circuits at 0.8 mm pitch and shows odd-numbered positions on one card side and even-numbered positions on the other. [C298B]
Each value retains its exact example, role and measurement axis. Facts from different parts must not be combined into an invented component.

Bounded facts, visible unknowns
| Documented identification | TE Connectivity product 1759513-1 is described as a 52-position, 0.8 mm centerline board-to-board connector for Mini PCI Express and mSATA. [C298A] |
|---|---|
| mSATA versus M.2 | mSATA uses SATA; M.2 may use SATA or PCIe and is not the same physical connector. [C298C] |
| Source-scoped role and recognition | A shared housing does not select the interface. The split contact banks belong to a socket shared across distinct assignments. [C298D] [C298E] [C298F] |
| Mechanical dimensions | No independently reviewed mechanical drawing in V50; do not use this page for fabrication, fit testing or tolerance work. |

| Verified device list | Not included. Check exact device and accessory documentation. |
Use only the source-backed family, role or position count for identification. Resolve electrical ratings, protocol generation, lane wiring, signal assignment, cable construction and exact device support from the relevant equipment and component documentation.
Before you connect
Pins & wiring
Choose the exact wiring. Pin numbers follow its stated view; a schematic does not establish physical positions. Check your exact device before wiring.
This field note does not approve a connection, adapter, cable assembly, rewiring scheme, energized-work procedure or fabricated part. It intentionally omits unsupported pin assignments and mechanical tolerances.
Mini PCIe, mSATA and M.2 are not interchangeable names. Start with the documented physical socket and then inspect the host’s actual signals. The shared 52-position example is not permission to try an unidentified module.
Check whether the exact host routes PCIe, SATA or another documented interface, then confirm card size and retention. No passive-adapter approval, host signal map, boot support or current mounting specification is established. Sources: C298D, C298E, C298F. Original qualitative study; independent technical and rights review pending.
