In at least one embodiment of the present invention, the stacked cable connector further includes a body, a plurality of first jacks, two second jacks, a third jack, a plurality of groups of first pins, and two groups of Two stitches and one set of third stitches. The base body has at least one front surface and a fixing surface, and the fixing surface faces the circuit board to fix the seat body on the circuit board. a plurality of first jacks are formed on the front side and arranged in a first course; two second jacks and a third jack are formed on the front side, and the third jack and the second jack are arranged in a second cross Column. Each set of first stitches is respectively disposed in each of the first jacks to form each of the first SATA sockets, and one end of each of the first stitches protrudes from the fixing surface; each set of second stitches is respectively disposed in each of the second jacks Each of the second SATA sockets is formed, and one end of each of the second pins protrudes from the fixing surface; the third pin is disposed in the auxiliary jack to form an auxiliary socket, and one end of each of the third pins protrudes from the fixing surface.

In at least one embodiment of the present invention, the front surface is adjacent to the fixing surface, the first stitch, the second stitch, and the third stitch are bent, and the fixing mask has a notch for the first stitch, the first stitch The bent portions of the two stitches and the third stitch are exposed.

In at least one embodiment of the present invention, the stacked cable connector includes two first SATA sockets stacked on top of the second second SATA sockets.

In at least one embodiment of the present invention, the front side has a notch corresponding to the auxiliary socket.

In at least one embodiment of the present invention, the stacked cable connector includes three first SATA sockets stacked above the auxiliary socket and the second second SATA socket.

In at least one embodiment of the present invention, the stacked cable connector includes three first SATA sockets, and the auxiliary socket and the second second SATA socket are stacked above the three first SATA sockets.

Since the first row and the second row are stacked on each other, the stacked cable connector of the present invention occupies only an area occupied by a single row, but additionally adds another row. socket. Therefore, the stacked cable connector of the present invention can solve the problem that the layout of electronic components on the motherboard is difficult to arrange.
