Low-profile SIM card reader

17 October 2012 Interconnection

Yamaichi Electronics has added the FMS006-8010-0 to its portfolio of high-quality SIM card sockets. The new product combines innovative card removal technology, and is a reversed-mount version with an ultra-flat installation height of only 1,34 mm.

This low installation height was conventionally only possible through manual insertion or removal of the card, alternatively by using an indirect insertion or removal process such as a tray. The newly developed pull-ejector mechanism makes it possible to provide more convenient and reliable card removal in an ultra-flat housing.

The mechanism is triggered by pulling a clip, thereby ejecting the SIM card from the card slot by a defined distance. This action ensures easy removal. A special design feature automatically prevents the SIM card from being incorrectly inserted into the card reader, adding another measure of protection.

The card socket has six gold-plated contacts and the total exterior dimensions of the device are 17,5 x 12 mm. Like most Yamaichi card readers, this product has a 2-point contact design, and is designed to maintain the best possible contact reliability during vibration and shock.

The insulating body of the card reader is made of LCP, while the metal cover is made of SUS. Four ground tabs provide outstanding EMC protection, while additional metal reinforcements also fasten the contact carrier, ensuring co-planarity during soldering. The part is mounted via SMT soldering on the bottom of the PCB (reversed-mount type).
