Elco adds to SIM card connector range

An AVX product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Oct 2, 2008

The Elco connector division of AVX has added three versions to its 9162 range of SIM card connectors, designed to reduce space and provide extra security.

AVX Elco's slim, slide-in 9162 connector reduces the overall installed height of a SIM card to less than 1.7mm, giving a profile from the PCB to the underside of the card of just 0.7mm.

Providing the user with the facility to locate, align and lock the SIM card in place, AVX Elco's lockable 9162 connector features a hinged lid with rails to provide alignment for the SIM card.

A recess in the moulding ensures that the SIM will not lock if the card is wrongly inserted into the cover.

The connector has an installed height to the base of the SIM of 1.5mm and a total height of 2.5mm for the connector.

With these low profile and lockable versions, AVX has maintained all the characteristics of its existing 9162 connector family, including a life of 5000 mating cycles and a power rating of 0.5A.
