A smaller SATA-family outline is not the same connector as standard SATA data plus power.

Inspect view & provenance (private workspace)No. Molex documents Slimline SATA as a variant within its storage connector ecosystem, not a blanket replacement for a desktop drive’s separate standard data and power connections. Optical-drive or small-device mounting and power arrangements can require a specifically rated matching harness.

Read the view
No mating-face, rear-terminal or installation orientation is declared.
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 dots and outline are placeholders, not interface geometry.
What it cannot establish: The shared generic outline does not distinguish Slimline from Micro SATA or establish the exact variant.
Enlargement changes display size only. It does not reveal measured geometry, a pin assignment or an approved mating combination.
Read the underlying references: S200. Artwork interpretation remains review-pending.
How to read connector illustrations →The useful distinction
Slimline SATA is a distinct compact member of the Serial ATA connector family used in space-constrained devices. [C195A]
Molex PS-47300-001 revision C, dated 2009-02-12, identifies a Slimline Serial ATA optical-disc-drive connector product family and gives a 1.27 mm pitch within that document’s scope. [C195B]
The slimline Molex product specification defers construction and physical dimensions to the applicable sales drawing, so the product specification alone cannot verify a universal mating envelope. [C195C]
Conn-Link describes CSAT-M13RS30-Q3 as a 7+6-position Slimline SATA male, right-angle, surface-mount component. [C195D]
The PDF linked from CSAT-M13RS30-Q3 shows two separated contact groups in a board-mount component; its PCB layout is a different view from the mating interface. [C195E]
The linked legacy drawing names CSAT-M13RS30-Q3 in its body but gives CSAT-M22-0C5 as its footer drawing number; current part equivalence is not resolved by that document alone. [C195F]
Each value retains its exact example, role and measurement axis. Facts from different parts must not be combined into an invented component.

|---|---|
| Source-scoped role and recognition | Keep the part label and legacy drawing warning together. Two separated groups: seven signal contacts and six power contacts. [C195D] [C195E] [C195F] |
| Mechanical dimensions | No independently reviewed mechanical drawing in V36; do not use this page for fabrication, fit testing or tolerance work. |

Use the source-backed form or position count only for identification. Resolve ratings, protocol, direction, wiring, 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 or fabricated part. It intentionally omits unsupported pin assignments and mechanical tolerances.
Confirm the exact drive and cable documents. Resolve the linked drawing identity discrepancy before selecting a replacement part. Current geometry, ratings, material and temperature are unresolved; conflicting values are not promoted. Sources: C195D, C195E, C195F. Original qualitative study; independent technical and rights review pending.

A data connector is not a power connector.
Open field note
SATA data and SATA power are separate interfaces even when combined in one drive-side assembly.
Open field note
The word SATA describes a family; physical variants still require exact identification.
