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 e-Pay.
Question 3
What is the benefi t of dual-slanted contact performance?
Answer 3
The dual-slanted design prevents contact jam issues and creates
a stronger mating performance, as demonstrated during the drop
test.
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 benefi t is enabling the customer to swap the product
easily when a design change occurs, thereby reducing the lead-
time of TTM (Time To Market), TTV (Time To Value) and design
cost.
