Match the connector with compatible SATA plug connectors to ensure proper mating and signal integrity.
Select appropriate wire gauge according to system current and voltage requirements; avoid exceeding the rated current per contact.
When soldering wires to the terminals, control soldering temperature and time to prevent damage to the plastic housing.
Provide adequate strain relief (heat-shrink, overmold or clamps) on the cable to avoid pulling force directly on the solder joints.
Keep contacts and mating surfaces clean and free from dust, flux residue or oil to maintain low contact resistance.
Do not bend the cable sharply near the connector; maintain the recommended minimum bend radius to protect conductor and insulation.
Store and operate the assemblies within the specified temperature and humidity ranges to ensure long-term reliability.
