New testplug for SATA interfaces from ENGMATEC

For testing eSATA interfaces specially designed test plugs are available from ENGMATEC in Germany. Serial-ATA, short SATA is a worldwide established interface for hard disks and interchangeable data mediums.

End-of-line testing of electronic equipment is becoming increasingly significant as an important component of modern testing strategies. SATA interfaces are especially used in the consumer and entertainment electronics and also gets more important in the fields of automotive and industrial electronics.

Industrial-strength test plugs for testing these interfaces are provided by ENGMATEC GmbH in Germany. The plugs have been designed specially for application with incircuit and function tests.

As test systems often run in 3-shift operation, plug contacting units have to resist an amount of several thousand connecting cycles per day. This requires testplugs specially developed for this application.

ENGMATEC plugs are manufactured from high performance plastics, which guarantees an optimal abrasion resistance. Contact wires made of copper beryllium (CuBe), particularly suitable for a high number of connecting cycles, are bonded into the plug base.
A specially developed plug enables a wear resistant contacting of the sockets and prevents a damage of the contact springs.

The following accessories are additionally available:

- Floating mounting shoes, self-centring devices
- Cable and plug assembly to customers' requirements
- Complete connecting unit with pneumatic actuation and sensors for position monitoring

ENGMATEC’s delivery program for connectors covers all usual sockets such as Western mini, USB and TAE. Special forms, special lengths and coded plug forms are realizable on customer's request.
