This makes it very useful for industrial and harsh environment applications where a consistent, robust connection is paramount. It also gives customers greater flexibility in terms of positioning and placement. Other SIM connector types are typically restricted to being designed on the edges of equipment but hinged variants can be positioned almost anywhere.
David Luu, GCT Marketing Manager commented, “There is a clear opportunity in the growing micro SIM (3FF) market for GCT to further establish itself as an industry leader in this sector. The new SIM7200 not only gives our customers a secure and reliable connection, but one at a very competitive price.” The SIM7200 is now available with 6 contacts and a 1.75mm profile above the PCB.
