1. A serial advanced technology attachment connector comprising:
- an insulating housing defining a mounting space therein and having a bottom wall that defines a horizontal plane, and a front open end for access into said mounting space;
an insulating signal panel disposed in said mounting space, parallel to said horizontal plane, and having opposite first and second surfaces that are parallel to said horizontal plane;
an insulating power panel disposed in said mounting space, parallel to said horizontal plane, and aligned with said signal panel in a first direction that is parallel to said horizontal plane, said power panel having opposite first and second surfaces that are parallel to said horizontal plane;
a plurality of first signal terminals, each of which has a contact extension and a leg, said contact extensions of said first signal terminals being laid on said first surface of said signal panel, being parallel to each other, extending in a second direction that is transverse to said first direction, and being aligned in said first direction, said leg extending from said contact extension in a vertical direction through said bottom wall, said vertical direction being perpendicular to said horizontal plane;
a plurality of second signal terminals, each of which has a contact extension and a leg, said contact extensions of said second signal terminals being laid on said second surface of said signal panel, being parallel to each other, extending in said second direction, and being aligned in said first direction, said leg extending from said contact extension of said second signal terminal in said vertical direction through said bottom wall;
a plurality of first power terminals, each of which has a contact extension and a leg, said contact extensions of said first power terminals being laid on said first surface of said power panel, being parallel to each other, extending in said second direction, and being aligned in said first direction, said leg of each of said first power terminals extending from said contact extension of said first power terminal in said vertical direction through said bottom wall; and
a plurality of second power terminals, each of which has a contact extension and a leg, said contact extensions of said second power terminals being laid on said second surface of said power panel, being parallel to each other, extending in said second direction, and being aligned in said first direction, said leg of each of said second power terminals extending from said contact extension of said second power terminal in said vertical direction through said bottom wall.

Abstract
A SATA connector includes a housing, signal and power panels disposed in the housing, first and second signal terminals mounted on two opposite surfaces of the signal panel that are opposite to each other in a vertical direction, and first and second power terminals respectively mounted on two opposite surfaces of the power panel that are opposite to each other in the vertical direction. The power panel is aligned with the signal panel in a direction perpendicular to the vertical direction.
