Standards key to fibre-optic system interconnect
Full compliance with industry standards is the driving force behind a complete series of building blocks for fibre-optic system interconnection from FCI.
Using cryptographic coding, Secure Digital memory cards feature in consumer and industrial electronics products requiring protection of copyrighted or personal information, such as MP3 players, PDAs and stills cameras as well as process control and data acquisition systems.
Fully compliant with the SD Association standard, FCI's push-push type SD connector offers an easy to use "push-to-insert/push-to-eject" mechanism, whereas the manual type requires the card to be withdrawn by simply pulling.
Both connectors include mechanical card detection and write protect switches.
As an alternative to Compact Flash sockets and backwards compatible with Multimedia Cards (MMC), FCI's SD memory card connectors can also help to reduce equipment size.
The push-push type connector occupies an area of just 28.50 x 29.00mm and is only 2.65mm in depth.
The connectors are 5V rated and have a contact current rating of 0.5A.
Contact and insulation resistances are 100mohm and 1000Mohm, respectively.
FCI's Secure Digital memory connectors are specified to withstand 10,000 insertion cycles.
