Connector manufacturer Global Connector Technology is launching a new combination Micro-SD and SIM connector.

The MES3055 hinged connector allows full retention of both the SIM and µSD cards in demanding handheld and mobile applications.

According to the company, the connector also allows engineers to design more reliably for dust-laden or damp environments as the cards can be sealed inside the final product not allowing ingress of moisture or dust. The MES3055 is fully qualified to relevant MIL and EIA standards and will withstand a 50G shock without loss of electrical connectivity.

Available in tape-and-reel packaging for volume manufacturing the MES3055 offers excellent coplanarity of +/-0.05mm while withstanding IR reflow at temperatures up to 260°C.
