Abstract
A SATA connector capable of transmitting electric power directly includes female and male connectors. The female connector includes a body and two first power pins. A front end of the body includes a first interface with two sidewalls. An end of the first power pin is disposed on two sidewalls of the first interface, and another end of the first power pin is extended out of a rear end of the body. The male connector includes a body and two second power pins. Both sides of the body have a side groove, and the side groove has an external sidewall. The sidewall includes a notch for exposing an end of the second power pin, and another end of the second power pin is extended out of the body. When the male and female connectors are connected, the second and first power pins constitute an electric connection for transmitting electric power.
