Proper impedance matching is especially important in order to maintain adequate margin at FAST-20 and
FAST-40 SCSI transfer rates.
LC:
The 80-pin connector option is intended for use on drives that plug directly into backplane connector in the host
equipment. In such installations, all backplane wiring segments are subject to the electromagnetic concepts
presented in Standard X3T10/1142D, section 6. For LC drives, installations with connectors on cables are not
recommended.
9.6.4 Mating connectors
Part numbers for the different type connectors that mate with the various I/O connectors are given in the sec-
tions following.
9.6.4.1 Mating connectors for LW drives
The nonshielded cable connector shall be a 68 conductor connector consisting of two rows of 34 male contacts
with adjacent contacts 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) apart.
Recommended mating flat cable connector part numbers are:
[1] See Figure 14.
The drive device connector is a nonshielded 68 conductor connector consisting of two rows of 34 female pins
with adjacent pins 50 mils apart. The connector is keyed by means of its shape (see Figure 15).
9.6.4.2 Mating connectors for LC drives
The nonshielded connector shall be an 80-conductor connector consisting of two rows of 40 contacts with adja-
cent contacts 50 (1.27 mm) mils apart (see Figure 16). I/O connection using a cable is not recommended. The
length and size of the host equipment DC power carrying conductors from the DC power source to the host
equipment 80-pin disk drive interface connector(s) should be strictly designed according to proper power trans-
mission design concepts. No possibility for the equipment user to attach an 80-pin cable/connector should be
allowed, since the length of the DC power carrying conductors could not be controlled and therefore could
become too long for safe power transmission to the drive. Daisy-chain 80-conductor cables should especially
not be allowed, since the power-carrying conductors on the 80-conductor interface were not intended to sup-
port a series of drives.
To insure that both drive connector and host equipment mating connector mate properly, both drive connector
and host equipment mating connector must meet the provisions of “SFF-8046 Specification for 80-pin connec-
tor for SCSI Disk Drives.”
