Mini-SAS HD internal SFF-8643 connector engineering reference

Amphenol example connector; 36-contact count tied to the inspected SFF-8643 product, not a fabrication drawing. TE brochure7-1773461-9 page2 explicitly specifies0.75mm contact pitch for its internal Mini-SAS HD SFF-8643 family, with LCP receptacle housing and copper-alloy contacts. Page3 lists internal connector examples separately from the external family.

Recorded variant and source limits
  • Position/contact count and any example-component pitch do not establish a universal pinout, cable construction or protocol capability.
  • No fabrication dimensions or face-view pin locator is published unless explicitly stated.
  • Retained rows context (excluded from normalized contact/body field): 1. Exact product-page role/orientation. The page warns that its image may not represent the exact part. No keyed-face geometry, footprint or mating approval inferred. Sources: S258: Part specification detail
