C&K Components has designed a rugged smartcard connector with a built-in card detection switch for machine-to-machine applications.
Designated the CCM03 and CCM04 series, the harsh environment connectors meet IEC 512 certification and are resistant to shock, vibration, humidity and extreme temperatures. The connectors are ideal for asset tracking, automotive e-call and tracking, signage, metering, vending machine, security and remote monitoring applications.
Depending on the type, the CCM03 series features an insulated normally-open (NO) card detection switch or increased contact forces for maximum vibration resistance. Both series are available with standard gold-plated contacts or with specific inlay alloy for increased wear and corrosion resistance. They feature six or eight contacts and a mechanical life of 10 000 to 50 000 cycles, depending on the type.
The CCM03 provides a maximum card insertion force of 3 N for fixed cover and 1 N for hinged cover with a contact force ranging from 0,25 N to 0,50 N. The CCM04 series has a 10 N maximum insertion force and a contact force ranging from 0,4 N to 0,7 N.
The smartcard connectors are RoHs compliant and feature high-temperature thermoplastics. They are compatible with automatic pick-and-place equipment and lead-free SMT reflow soldering process.
