SCSI SCA 80 Pin to IDE 50 Pin Adapter

This adapter converts an SCA 80-pin female connector to an IDE 50-pin male connector, allowing a 50-pin low-speed SCSI device to attach to an 80-pin SCSI backplane. It includes a 4-pin Molex power connector to supply the drive. The unit weighs 0.018 kilograms and is finished in black. It suits disks, tapes, CD-ROMs, rewritable optical drives, printers, scanners and communication equipment.

Interface and usage limits

The IDE 50-pin connector is not a standard 40-pin or 44-pin IDE interface and will not work in ordinary desktop computers. It is intended only for industrial server motherboards that provide a 50-pin IDE interface. A separate Molex 4-pin power connection is required for the attached drive. The maker recommends the adapter for direct data transfers or backups rather than continuous primary storage duty.

Connector gender and pin count

Connector A is an SCA 80-pin female; Connector B is an IDE 50-pin male; Connector C is a 4-pin power plug. This specific gender and pin-count combination decides whether the adapter matches your backplane and drive. Verify that your host presents an 80-pin SCA receptacle and your drive terminates in a 50-pin IDE plug before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Which connector orientation matches my SCSI device — the 80-pin female or the 50-pin male?

The adapter presents an SCA 80-pin female socket on one side and an IDE 50-pin male plug on the other, so a 50-pin SCSI drive plugs into the male end while the 80-pin backplane accepts the female end.

What does the 80-pin to 50-pin conversion actually let me do with a SCSI drive?

It lets a 50-pin low-speed SCSI disk, tape, CD-ROM or scanner connect to an 80-pin SCA backplane on an industrial server motherboard, with a separate 4-pin Molex power feed required for the drive.

Does the 50-pin IDE connector follow the standard 40-pin or 44-pin PC layout?

No — it is a 50-pin IDE interface found only on industrial server motherboards, not the 40-pin or 44-pin connectors used in ordinary computers.
