The tray offers one particular advantage: its stop function. That means that it can be pulled out only to a certain point initially, in order to permit the convenient insertion or removal of the card. However, if necessary the tray can also be removed entirely with the exertion of additional force.
The insulation body of the card reader is made of LCP, while the metal cover and additional ribs are made of SUS. This ensures outstanding stability and coplanarity.
Another outstanding feature is its gold-plated contacts. They offer high contact reliability even with vibration and shock.
Since the card reader has a low profile of only 1.65 mm, it is ideal for applications with very narrow installation space.
The unit is mounted with SMT soldering on the bottom of the PCB (reversed type).
The card reader is delivered packaged on tape reel belts and the trays inserted.
Yamaichi Electronics offers many other card connectors for all available Flash and SIM card types in different form factors such as microSD, miniSD, RS-MMC, MMCmicro, CompactFlash, xD Card, multicard versions, etc.
