SIM CARD CONNECTORS SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) and UIM (Universal Identity Module) cards are widely used in a variety of mobile applications, including, billing, security and number storage purposes in mobile devices. The SIM card parameters are defined by ISO, ETSI and GSM standards. TE Connectivitys (TEs) outstanding technological capability delivers a high comfort for the end customer and great durability and longevity of the SIM connectors. In addition, TE has the ability to fabricate very high volume products in a cost-efficient, lean manufacturing process. The huge array of products, combined with TEs ability to redesign existing products to customer requirements, allow TE to be a reliable source for SIM and UIM card connectors. FEATURES BENEFITS APPLICATIONS Large portfolio covering several Large, versatile portfolio offers the Mobile phones styles and card sizes best product closest to your need Tablets Connectors optimized for reliability (i.e. Highly reliable connector technology Personal computers by spherical contact points increasing helps customers reduce production Ultraportable devices hertz stress, pre-loaded contacts and line defect rates ultimately reducing Data cards anti-retention features in the contacts.) costs for quality control and service Portable GSM modems The SIM connector series offers Very broad design freedom creates optimal Servers the best possible design freedom possibilities for the design engineer many products are even scalable in to match the devices requirements height within the same form factor Fully-automated processing Best possible applied cost by leads to stable quality fully-automated processing Global footprint means enhanced support for all regions www.te.com/products/SIMCardConnectors DATA AND DEVICES /// SIM CARD CONNECTORSSIM Card Connectors TE Offers a Variety of SIM Card Connectors Push-pull Type Card guidance and card stops provides fixation of the SIM card in X, Y and Z direction Card is typically located inside the device shell. Consumer must open the device shell to extract the card, and must insert and eject card manually Full single clip, provides shielding, and prevents card bending. This ensures a stable connection with all card types Components underneath the SIM card are possible (optional) Block Type Basic SIM connector without enhanced features in combination with an efficient manufacturing process leads to an extremely cost-effective component Anti-lifting contact prevents the contact from being accidentally lifted, reducing the risk of damaged contacts Two (2) directional mating allows for card insertion from two directions Push-push Type Push to insert, push to eject mechanism provides enhanced card handling for the end user Push-push type connectors are typically used under the battery cover or behind a door at the device exterior The card detection switch senses card removal The connector reduces the risk of inserting the card in the wrong direction Tray Type Tray type SIM connectors are typically used on the exterior of a device. The tray forms a unity with the device covers Tray can be fully separated from the body, allowing for easy card handling by the end user The connector reduces the risk of inserting the card in the wrong direction The card detection switch senses card removal Combo Type Integrated card connector to support two cards: micro SD and micro SIM The stacking of two card connectors reduces the connector layout on the PCB There is a detect switch for micro SD Two types of insertion exist: cross insertion type and inline insertion type DATA AND DEVICES /// SIM CARD CONNECTORS PAGE 2
