Yamaichi Electronics now offers a new multi-card or combination card connector. The FRS016T-2000-0 offers two slots offset by 90° and stacked in one casing for microSD flash memory cards as well as SIM chip cards. The SIM card is operated manually at that and the microSD card via the convenient Push/Push mechanism.

The small form factor with an installation height of merely 2.85 mm makes the card connector ideal for the tightest spaces in mobile phones and other end devices. This combination is frequently used for SIM module and microSD card applications. As an individual component for these two card types, the FRS016T-2000-0 meets the requirement the best way. At the same time, it reduces the development and space requirement for any conceivable design.

Card slots with a 90° offset stacked above each other allow for a flexible design-in, where the SIM card is inserted into the internal connector in the casing as stipulated, e.g. below the battery pack. The microSD card slot however, is accessed on the casing exterior. This design complies with the Input/Output connector.

The electromechanical component FRS016T-2000-0 is RoHS compliant and is delivered in tapes-on-reel for automated SMT assembly. It is mounted on the top side of the circuit board.
