Abstract: A SATA hard disk drive connector includes a body connected to a SATA hard disk drive; a signal pin unit disposed at the body and having signal transmitting/receiving pins and first grounding pins; a power pin unit disposed at the body and having power pins and second grounding pins; four micro coaxial cables each having a conducting wire, insulating layer, shielding layer and insulating coating, with the conducting wires connected to the signal transmitting/receiving pins at one end and to an external cable at another end; a first grounding unit disposed at the body and connected to an end of each shielding layer and the first grounding pins; a second grounding unit disposed at the body and connected to the second grounding pins, another end of each shielding layer, and external cable; and an electrical connection unit disposed at the body and connected to power pins and external cable.

Abstract: A header assembly includes a conductive outer housing holding a center contact and a dielectric body. The outer housing has a rear shell and an outer contact extending forward from the rear shell. The outer contact has a catch extending therefrom positioned forward of the rear shell. The header assembly includes a nose cone coupled to the outer contact. The nose cone is manufactured from a plastic material. The nose cone surrounds the outer contact. The nose cone has keying ribs along an exterior thereof. The nose cone has a latch engaging the catch to secure the nose cone to the outer housing.
