Micro-SIM sockets

17 April 2013 Interconnection

Molex manufactures a range of push-push micro-SIM sockets for space-constrained applications.

Push-push micro-SIM connectors: 104118 series (upper left) and 503960 series 
(bottom right).

The 503960 series has been independently tested by some of the major mobile manufacturers to achieve a contact force of 0,3 N. The design accomplishes this through a unique contact design.

The 104118 series socket has a unique detect switch design to offer reliability in the area of card retention. The detect terminal for this version exerts its spring force on the cam instead of the card, which reduces outward force on the card and provides additional card retention assurance in cases of shock or vibration.

The 503960 series comes in the industry-standard 6-circuit style, while the 104118 series includes eight circuits to support applications requiring additional pin assignments.

Molex’s most recent push-push micro-SIM connectors (504030/504040) include a metal tray to hold the card. This feature locks the card in place for maximum retention assurance. It also makes it easier for users to grab and extract the card from the side of mobile devices.

A smooth extraction design helps prevent card flyout and simplifies the design for the manufacturer. The new tray version offers similar robust features such as secure contact force and anti-stubbing terminal design as Molex’s non-tray push-push micro-SIM versions.
