SFF-8452 Specification for
Glitch Free Mating Connections for Multidrop Aps
Rev 3.1 June 19, 2001
Secretariat: SFF Committee
Abstract: This document defines the physical interface and performance requirements
for glitch free mating connections used in multidrop applications such as parallel
SCSI and PCI. A specific example is given for required modifications to SCA-2
(Single Connector Attach -2) free gender (plug) connectors to achieve glitch free
mating and unmating. Other uses of this general-purpose connection system are also
possible.
This document provides a common specification for systems manufacturers, system
integrators, and suppliers of magnetic disk drives. This is an internal working
document of the SFF Committee, an industry ad hoc group.
This document is made available for public review, and written comments are
solicited from readers. Comments received by the members will be considered for
inclusion in future revisions of this document.
The description of a connector in this document does not assure that the specific
component is actually available from connector suppliers. If such a connector is
supplied it must comply with this specification to achieve interoperability between
suppliers.
Support: This document is supported by the identified member companies of the SFF
Committee.
Documentation: This document has been prepared in a similar style to that of the ISO
(International Organization of Standards).

If you are not a member of the SFF Committee, but you are interested in
participating, the following principles have been reprinted here for your
information.
PRINCIPLES OF THE SFF COMMITTEE
The SFF Committee is an ad hoc group formed to address storage industry needs in a
prompt manner. When formed in 1990, the original goals were limited to defining de
facto mechanical envelopes within which disk drives can be developed to fit compact
computer and other small products.
Adopting a common industry size simplifies the integration of small drives (2 1/2"
or less) into such systems. Board-board connectors carrying power and signals, and
their position relative to the envelope are critical parameters in a product that
has no cables to provide packaging leeway for the integrator.
In November 1992, the SFF Committee objectives were broadened to encompass other
areas which needed similar attention, such as pinouts for interface applications,
and form factor issues on larger disk drives. SFF is a forum for resolving industry
issues that are either not addressed by the standards process or need an immediate
solution.
Documents created by the SFF Committee are expected to be submitted to bodies such
as EIA (Electronic Industries Association) or an ASC (Accredited Standards
Committee). They may be accepted for separate standards, or incorporated into other
standards activities.
The principles of operation for the SFF Committee are not unlike those of an
accredited standards committee. There are 3 levels of participation:
- Attending the meetings is open to all, but taking part in discussions is
limited to member companies, or those invited by member companies
- The minutes and copies of material which are discussed during meetings
are distributed only to those who sign up to receive documentation.
- The individuals who represent member companies of the SFF Committee
receive documentation and vote on issues that arise. Votes are not taken
during meetings, only guidance on directions. All voting is by letter
ballot, which ensures all members an equal opportunity to be heard.
Material presented at SFF Committee meetings becomes public domain. There are no
restrictions on the open mailing of material presented at committee meetings. In
order to reduce disagreements and misunderstandings, copies must be provided for all
agenda items that are discussed. Copies of the material presented, or revisions if
completed in time, are included in the documentation mailings.
The sites for SFF Committee meetings rotate based on which member companies
volunteer to host the meetings. Meetings have typically been held during the ASC T10
weeks.
The funds received from the annual membership fees are placed in escrow, and are
used to reimburse ENDL for the services to manage the SFF Committee.

Foreword
When 2 1/2" diameter disk drives were introduced, there was no commonality on
external dimensions e.g. physical size, mounting locations, connector type,
connector location, between vendors.
The first use of these disk drives was in specific applications such as laptop
portable computers in which space was at a premium and time to market with the
latest machine was an important factor. System integrators worked individually with
vendors to develop the packaging. The result was wide diversity, and with space
being such a major consideration in packaging, it was not possible to replace one
vendor's drive with a competitive product.
The desire to reduce disk drive sizes to even smaller dimensions such as 1.8" and
1.3" made it likely that devices would become even more constrained in dimensions
because of a possibility that such small devices could be inserted into a socket,
not unlike the method of retaining semiconductor devices.
The problems faced by integrators, device suppliers, and component suppliers led to
the formation of an industry ad hoc group to address the marketing and engineering
considerations of the emerging new technology in disk drives. After two informal
gatherings on the subject in the summer of 1990, the SFF Committee held its first
meeting in August.
During the development of the form factor definitions, other activities were
suggested because participants in the SFF Committee faced problems other than the
physical form factors of disk drives. In November 1992, the members approved an
expansion in charter to address any issues of general interest and concern to the
storage industry. The SFF Committee became a forum for resolving industry issues
that are either not addressed by the standards process or need an immediate
solution.
At the same time, the principle was adopted of restricting the scope of an SFF
project to a narrow area, so that the majority of documents would be small and the
projects could be completed in a rapid timeframe. If proposals are made by a number
of contributors, the participating members select the best concepts and uses them to
develop specifications which address specific issues in emerging storage markets.
Those companies which have agreed to support a documented specification are
identified in the first pages of each SFF Specification. Industry consensus is not
an essential requirement to publish an SFF Specification because it is recognized
that in an emerging product area, there is room for more than one approach. By
making the documentation on competing proposals available, an integrator can examine
the alternatives available and select the product that is felt to be most suitable.
Suggestions for improvement of this document will be welcome. They should be sent to
the SFF Committee, 14426 Black Walnut Ct, Saratoga, CA 95070.
The development work on this specification was done by the SFF Committee, an
industry group. The membership of the committee since its formation in 1990 has
included a mix of companies which are leaders across the industry.
