SIM CARD CONNECTORS SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) and UIM (Universal Identity Module) cards are widely used in a variety of mobile applications, including, billing, security and number storage purposes in mobile devices. The SIM card parameters are defined by ISO, ETSI and GSM standards. TE Connectivity's (TE's) outstanding technological capability delivers a high comfort for the end customer and great durability and longevity of the SIM connectors. In addition, TE has the ability to fabricate very high volume products in a cost-efficient, lean manufacturing process. The huge array of products, combined with TE's ability to redesign existing products to customer requirements, allow TE to be a reliable source for SIM and UIM card connectors. FEATURES BENEFITS APPLICATIONS * Large portfolio covering several styles and card sizes * Connectors optimized for reliability (i.e. by spherical contact points increasing hertz stress, pre-loaded contacts and anti-retention features in the contacts.) * The SIM connector series offers the best possible design freedom; many products are even scalable in height within the same form factor * Best possible applied cost by fully-automated processing * Large, versatile portfolio offers the best product closest to your need * Highly reliable connector technology helps customers reduce production line defect rates - ultimately reducing costs for quality control and service * Very broad design freedom creates optimal possibilities for the design engineer to match the device's requirements * Fully-automated processing leads to stable quality * Global footprint means enhanced support for all regions * * * * * * * www.te.com/products/SIMCardConnectors DATA AND DEVICES /// SIM CARD CONNECTORS Mobile phones Tablets Personal computers Ultraportable devices Data cards Portable GSM modems Servers SIM Card Connectors TE Offers a Variety of SIM Card Connectors Push-pull Type * Card guidance and card stops provides fixation of the SIM card in X, Y and Z direction * Card is typically located inside the device shell. Consumer must open the device shell to extract the card, and must insert and eject card manually * Full single clip, provides shielding, and prevents card bending. This ensures a stable connection with all card types * Components underneath the SIM card are possible (optional) Block Type * Basic SIM connector without enhanced features in combination with an efficient manufacturing process leads to an extremely cost-effective component * Anti-lifting contact prevents the contact from being accidentally lifted, reducing the risk of damaged contacts * Two (2) directional mating allows for card insertion from two directions Push-push Type * Push to insert, push to eject mechanism provides enhanced card handling for the end user * Push-push type connectors are typically used under the battery cover or behind a door at the device exterior * The card detection switch senses card removal * The connector reduces the risk of inserting the card in the wrong direction Tray Type * Tray type SIM connectors are typically used on the exterior of a device. The tray forms a unity with the device covers * Tray can be fully separated from the body, allowing for easy card handling by the end user * The connector reduces the risk of inserting the card in the wrong direction * The card detection switch senses card removal Combo Type * * * * Integrated card connector to support two cards: micro SD and micro SIM The stacking of two card connectors reduces

AND DEVICES /// SIM CARD CONNECTORS PAGE 5 SIM Card Connectors Frequently Asked Questions Question 1 How do I decide which type of SIM connector to choose? Answer 1 The major difference in choosing between SIM connectors depends on the design of the customer device. Push-push or tray type SIM connectors allow users to extract the SIM card from the external portion of the device. Push-pull or block type connectors require users to open the back shell of the device and manually pull out the SIM card. Question 2 What is the purpose of an 8 position SIM connector? Answer 2 The extra two positions support an additional function like electronic payment. Question 4 When should I use a micro SIM connector? Answer 4 When the device requires the use of a micro SIM card. Question 5 What's the scalable height? Answer 5 The scalable height is found when the SIM card connector is scalable by a different P/N, but the connector footprint stays the same. The benefit is enabling the customer to swap the product easily when a design change occurs, thereby reducing the leadtime of TTM (Time To Market), TTV (Time To Value) and design cost. Question 3 What is the benefit of dual-slanted contact performance? Answer 3 The dual-slanted design minimizes contact jam issues and creates a stronger mating performance, as demonstrated during the drop test.
