FCI has added two secure digital (SD) memory card connectors to its multimedia product range. The push-push and manual SD connectors support memory cards providing a removable storage capacity of up to 256 Mb of encrypted data.
Using cryptographic coding, secure digital memory cards feature in consumer and industrial electronics products requiring protection of copyrighted or personal information, such as MP3 players, PDAs and stills cameras as well as process control and data acquisition systems.
Fully compliant with the SD Association standard, FCI's push-push type SD connector offers an easy to use 'push-to-insert', 'push-to-eject' mechanism, while the manual type requires the card to be withdrawn by simply pulling. Both connectors include mechanical card detection and write protect switches.
As an alternative to compact flash sockets and backwards compatible with multimedia cards (MMC), these SD memory card connectors can also help to reduce equipment size. The push-push type connector occupies an area of just 28,50 by 29,00 mm and is only 2,65 mm in depth.
The connectors are 5 V rated and have a current rating of 0,5 A. Contact and insulation resistance are 100 mΩ and 1000 MΩ respectively. FCI's Secure Digital memory connectors are specified to withstand 10 000 insertion cycles.
