The low profile design with its 2.8 mm has almost the same height as the SD card itself (2.1 mm). The top-mount card reader is conceived for SMT mounting on the top side of the PCB assembly. It offers comfortable functions, e.g. smooth card insertion and extraction via push-in/push-out mechanism with defined ejection, soft lock mechanism for the SD card, innovative two-point contacts to protect against electrical interruptions as well as automatic card detector and write protection switch. The SMT component is delivered on tape & reel for fully automated pick and place assembly.
This SD/MMC flash memory card reader supports wireless communication, portable computer, end-consumer and other applications.
Yamaichi Electronics do not only offer this low size component but a wide range of card connectors for all available Flash and SIM card types with different form factors like microSD, miniSD, MMCmicro, CompactFlash, xD Card etc. Several multicard versions are also available.
