These new connectors offer partial shielding that provides a stable connection for the SIM card. Besides, the shield helps hold the SIM card in its position, eliminating the need for a complex mechanical design within the device. The SIM card connector features a card stop and guide to help prevent bending or damage to the contacts and boasts pre-loaded contacts which increase the working range of the connectors.
Additionally, holes are included on the top of the connector — making it possible to mount components underneath it. All TE’s 1.95mm SIM card connectors are RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant.
