Micro SD Card Reader Features Vertical Assembly

Yamaichi Electronics has introduced the PJS008U-3000-0 manual micro SD card reader for vertical insertion and extraction, such as in the 90-degree angle to the printed circuit board (PCB). The PJS008U-3000-0 is a manual micro SD card reader for all micro SD cards in compliance with the specification of the micro SD card standard. The positioning pins and the DIP connection to the PCB ensure the secure fixing of the card reader on the PCB.

As a result, the PJS008U-3000-0 is as stable as the horizontal micro SD card readers and has all the same attributes as the 180-degree version. An advantage of the vertical assembly is the small space requirement of only 4.97mm in width and 12mm in length. According to the company, 10,000 mating cycles are assured thanks to gold-plated contacts.

The insulation body is out of LCP and completely encloses the micro SD card, thus giving additional protection against external impacts. The PJS008U-3000-0 provides the full functionality of an all-purpose micro SD card reader together with the advantages of a vertical PCB assembly. The card reader is supplied in trays for fully automated pick-and-place assembly.

This Flash memory-card component supports applications such as wireless communications, portable computers and end consumers. Yamaichi also offers a range of card connectors for all available Flash and SIM card standards, such as mini SD, MMC micro, Compactflash and XD card. Several multi-card versions are also available.

Yamaichi Card Reader Features 1.2mm Stand-Off

Yamaichi Electronics is now offering the FPS009-2910-0 push/push SD card connector with stand-off. The FPS009-2910-0 card reader has been developed on the basis of the established top-mount component FPS009-2901-0. It offers the same features as the top-mount component, but also has a stand-off of 1.2mm to allow for mounting of other components underneath/below the reader.

As a top-mount component, it is designed for the assembly on the top side of the PCB. A close metal cover together with four grounding tabs ensures good EMC behaviour. The reader is equipped with two card brakes that avoid the fling-off of the card. Further features include: smooth push-in/push-out card insertion and extraction mechanism with defined ejection; soft lock mechanism for the SD card; automatic card detection; and a write-protection switch.

The card reader FPS009-2910-0 is packaged and delivered on tape reel belts. This component for Flash memory card applications suits wireless communication, portable computing and end-consumer applications. Yamaichi Electronics offers this card reader with stand-off as well as a wide range of card connectors for all available Flash and SIM card types with different form factors such as micro SD, mini SD, SD, RS-MMC, MMCmicro, MMC, Compactflash, xD and so on, as well as multi-card versions.
