MicroSD memory card connector
Molex has released a 1.28mm-high MicroSD memory card connector, which reduces memory card fly-out and sticking problems in digital cameras, tablet PCs and mobile phones.
Goji Tanabe, regional product manager at Molex, said: 'As personal consumer electronics trend smaller and smaller, memory card connectors are literally shrinking to keep pace.
'Designed for the world's smallest memory card storage systems, the Molex MicroSD line offers superior design flexibility, while eliminating problems commonly associated with spring-style memory card ejection systems,' added Tanabe.
This 1.28mm MicroSD card connector is surface mountable and offered in push-push style.
It includes a detect terminal for card detection and brake features for smooth, controlled card ejection.
The connector is rated at 0.5A and 10V and includes metal shielding for electrostatic discharge protection.
An inner-lead terminal design provides secure contact reliability and prevents terminal stubbing during card insertion.
