M.2 Key B to SATA 7-pin Adapter (vertical) DELOCK 64290

The DELOCK M.2 Key B to SATA 7-pin Adapter (vertical) converts an M.2 Key B interface into a vertical SATA 7-pin connection, allowing installation of SATA devices in systems that provide an M.2 Key B slot. The compact vertical design helps save horizontal board space and provides a direct SATA connection via a standard 7-pin cable. This adapter is intended for use where a SATA drive or controller must be connected through an M.2 Key B port without using larger adapters or full-size cables.

Advantages

The adapter offers a compact vertical mounting orientation that reduces footprint on the motherboard or carrier board. It provides a simple physical conversion from M.2 Key B to a standard SATA 7-pin interface, enabling compatibility with existing SATA drives and SATA controllers. The adapter is designed for straightforward installation and minimal signal path length, helping to maintain reliable data transfer when used according to system specifications.

Suitable for

• Systems with an available M.2 Key B slot where a SATA storage device must be attached
• Small form-factor or space-constrained builds requiring vertical mounting
• Prototyping and development platforms that need SATA connectivity from M.2 ports
• Vertical placement where cable routing or airflow considerations favor upright connectors

Key specifications

• Interface conversion: M.2 Key B to SATA 7-pin (vertical)
• Connector orientation: vertical SATA 7-pin output
• Supported device type: SATA drives and SATA controllers compatible with a 7-pin connection
• Physical form factor: compact adapter for M.2 Key B slot

How to use

Insert the adapter into the M.2 Key B slot on the host board ensuring correct alignment of the key and connector. Secure the adapter if the host board provides a retention screw or mounting option. Attach a standard SATA 7-pin cable to the vertical SATA connector on the adapter and route the cable to the SATA drive or controller. Power the SATA device separately if required by the drive; this adapter provides the signal connection only and does not supply SATA power.

Recommendations

Verify that the host system supports SATA signals on the M.2 Key B slot before installation. Use high-quality SATA cables and avoid sharp cable bends near the vertical connector. Ensure the connected SATA device receives appropriate power from a dedicated power source. If the system requires specific BIOS or firmware settings to enable M.2-to-SATA operation, apply those configurations as documented by the system manufacturer.
