InLine SATA Adapter 22 Pin Cable side to Slimline SATA 13 Pin PCB

The InLine SATA Adapter 29612 (22 Pin to Slimline SATA 13 Pin PCB) enables connection of a DVD/CD slim drive with a 13‑pin Slimline SATA interface to a standard 22‑pin SATA port. The adapter uses a 22‑pin male SATA connector on one side and a 13‑pin slimline SATA connector on the other, in a compact black PCB design suitable for installations with limited space.

Advantages

This adapter provides a direct, passive connection between standard SATA ports and slimline SATA optical drives without requiring additional power conversion. Its compact PCB form factor and standard connector types simplify installation in laptops, small form‑factor PCs, or internal drive bays where a slimline interface must be adapted to a regular SATA connector.

Key specifications

How to use

Power off the computer and disconnect from mains. Insert the adapter's 13‑pin slimline connector into the slim optical drive's socket, and connect the 22‑pin male SATA end to the motherboard or SATA cable. Reassemble the system and power on; the drive should be detected by the BIOS/OS as a standard SATA optical drive. No additional drivers are required for the adapter itself.

Recommendations

Ensure connectors are aligned and fully seated before powering the system. Avoid applying excessive force to the PCB or connectors and handle the adapter in an electrostatic‑safe environment. Confirm the optical drive receives proper power from the system (adapter carries data/pignal connections only; power may require a separate supply depending on drive and host).
