CompactPCI connectors feature hot-swap coding
The new MJ04 series 2mm metric connector system from JAE complies with the IEC 1076-4-101 electrical and mechanical specification for CompactPCI interconnection.
This eliminates the requirement of many conventional SIM card connectors for holes to be made in the PCB.
Measuring 13.3 x 8.8mm, the new low-profile SF2 SIM card connector incorporates a polarising key that ensures accurate mounting during high-volume assembly and offers a pick-up area with a 2.8mm diameter to ensure compatibility with modern placement systems.
The new connector is rated for currents of 1A and has a minimum operating life of 10,000 insertions and removals.
Insulation resistance is 1000Mohm (minimum), while dielectric withstand voltage is rated at 250V AC RMS for 1min.
All contacts are brass with Pd-Ni over gold plating in the connecting area and tin plating at the SMT connections, while the insulator is made from UL 94V-0-approved glass-filled PPS.
JAE's SF2 connectors are available in tape-and-reel packaging and will operate within specification at temperatures ranging from -40 to +90C.
