Due to their compact dimensions (L x W x H) of 16.95 mm x 14.18mm x 1.85mm (version 02) and 16.0mm x 14.3mm x 1.80mm (version 62), they are also ideally suited for space-critical designs. Their high-quality contacts with partial gold-plating provide good electrical properties and are specified for 10,000 operation cycles. Operating temperatures are permissible from -20°C to +60°C, and extended temperature ranges are possible upon request.
The series features a convenient, spring-style push-push mechanism that makes it possible to insert or remove the card by manually applying a small amount of pressure. Both versions are equipped with a switch contact that detects the presence of an inserted memory card and sends a signal to the evaluation electronics when the circuit is closed.
The microSD-card readers are supplied in tape & reel packaging for pick-and-place processing and reflow soldering. They are available immediately in high volumes.
