ABSTRACT:
SMT Serial ATA signal connectors mounted to printed circuit boards are protected from excessive stress applied by a mating signal connector, such as during connection and disconnection of a mating signal connector cable or by forces applied to a connected cable, with a protective housing that fits as a separate piece to the mounted signal connector to align an opening that allows connection of the mating cable connector to the mounting tongue of the mounted signal connector. The inner surface walls of the protective housing absorb forces applied at the mating signal connector to reduce the risk of breakage of the mating tongue or of the mounting of the signal connector to the printed circuit board, such as mounting only by solder of the electrical connections or mounting with board locks.
