Features

• Available with 8 contacts which are

designed to give a consistently reliable

normal force over the life of the

connector.

• For added reliability, the card detection

switch (which is normally open) is sealed

against dust and debris.

• Available with through-hole or surface

mount contact termination and its lightweight

design means that the connector

can be automatically pick-and-placed.

• The moldings are made from high

temperature thermoplastics suited

for infrared and convection soldering

processes.

• Plastic springs in the cover give a

positive feel as the card is fully inserted.

In case of special version with low card

insertions and withdrawal, then the

CCM connector is supplied without this

spring effect.

• The reduced size of the contact base

saves PCB space, making the

connector more stable during soldering.

This creates an air gap between the

contacts and card entry slot which

reduces the risk of an electrostatic

transfer to the PCB.

• By using an inlay finish in the contact

area, the life of the precious metal is

extended by more than 10 times that of

standard gold plating.

• A chamfered opening to the card entry

slot improves the card guidance into the

connector.

• The contact area is spooned to reduce

the risk of accidental (or deliberate)

damage and to optimize the electrical

connection with the card.

• Robustly formed printed circuit tails

allow a coplanarity of ± 0.05 mm to be

maintained.
