Abstract
A PCIe/SAS female connector includes a frame body, a terminal assembly, and a cover member; the frame body including a groove disposed on an end thereof; the terminal assembly including a Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) 7 pin signal and grounding terminal inserted in the frame body and having a head portion and a foot. When the SATA 7 pin signal and grounding terminal is inserted in the frame body, the head portion is in the groove. The cover member includes an elastic plate and a foot; the elastic plate disposed on the head portion of the cover member. When the PCIe/SAS female connector is engaged with a male connector, the head portion of the SATA 7 pin signal and grounding terminal contacts the elastic plate of the cover member. The foot of the SATA 7 pin signal and grounding terminal and the foot of the cover member are welded in an identical Printed Circuit Board (PCB) pad.
