Product Description
The FCI Compact Flash card kit has been designed to
meet all aspects of the Compact Flash standard. This
version was designed with an extremely rugged
concept including a stainless cover kit with unique
mechanical latches and an integrated plastic frame on
the shield to reduce the number of components.
These special features optimize the ease of assembly
requiring only a mechanical press. Current use for the
Compact Flash card is primarily found in digital
cameras and mobile computers.
