Learn About Micro SATA Cables and Computer Accessories

Automatic crimping tools may seem glamorous but hand crimping tools are a perfect choice when the project involves small and medium-sized wires. The term hand or handheld is synonymous with mobility. But to the assemblers of wire harnesses, the term also refers to the wire crimping tools that offer simplicity, reliability, and accuracy. When it comes to finding a good crimper tool, companies are most concerned with durability and ergonomics. But on the other hand, the budget is also a factor that plays an important role. Companies know that good tools cost more but they are worth it.  Wire crimping is a small part of a big process, however, when done incorrectly it can have large consequences on your day-to-day operations. This is because if a barrel and a wire are not crimped properly it creates an opening for external forces, such as moisture to enter. Eventually, which will cause your connection to corrode or overheat resulting in voltage to drop that leads to a po...

Introduction to SATA SATA, which also stands for Serial Advanced Technology Attachment, is a computer bus interface that is primarily used to connect storage drives to compatible devices such as computers, motherboards, and relevant devices that support mass storage drives. SATA was first introduced as a new standard for connecting mechanical hard disk drives, slowly leading up to optical disk drives and first-generation solid-state drives via SATA power cable. SATA is slowly being replaced by newer standards such as PCI Express and NVMe, but the widespread usage of SATA and Micro SATA still eclipses all the new standards currently available.   SATA Variants While SATA is a singular standard, the type of connector and SATA power cables used to connect different peripherals to their compatible systems greatly varies according to the type of device being used. While regular SATA is used in full-sized hard disks, optical disk drives and solid-state drives, micro SAT...

Introduction Whenever you need to connect a storage device to a computer motherboard, you must have seen a bunch of ribbon or flat like cables being used for the purpose. Different kinds of peripherals and motherboards require a different kind of cables, but all these falls under one major classification: SATA cables. They come up in various types such as AWM 20624 ribbon flex cable, micro SATA cables, Intel NUC SATA cables and so on. But before we dive deep into those SATA cable classifications, we need to have a look at what SATA actually means. SATA Cables: The Industry Standard for Connecting Storage Devices SATA stands for Serial Advanced Technology Attachment and is a standard attachment standard that is widely used for connecting various peripherals such as hard disks, optical drives and solid-state drives to a computer motherboard. What makes them perfect for mass storage devices is the fact that SATA cables and connectors can transmit both data at high speeds...

Whenever there is the need to join two or more metal objects, soldering or welding are the only methods that come to our mind. Whether it is joining metal wires, metal plates, metal beams or metal rods, soldering and welding are the two common connection methods. However, these two are destructive means of joining, which means they waste a small portion of metal on the joining area. This is not a problem for bigger joints, but pose a serious risk for tiny joints such as metal wires. This is where the wire crimping tool comes in; they can effortlessly connect and join two or more metal wires. A crimper tool makes use of raw force to clamp two or more metal wires together tightly. They serve two purposes; to either join metal wires or cut them cleanly. Crimper tools come in many variants such as hand crimping tools, hydraulic crimper tools, closed barrel crimping tools, and open barrel wire crimping tools. They are also classified on the basis of the shape they form when cutting...
