SIM CARD CONNECTORS
SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) and UIM (Universal Identity Module) cards are widely used in a variety of mobile applications,
including, billing, security and number storage purposes in mobile devices. The SIM card parameters are defined by ISO, ETSI and
GSM standards.
TE Connectivity’s (TE’s) outstanding technological capability delivers a high comfort for the end customer and great durability
and longevity of the SIM connectors. In addition, TE has the ability to fabricate very high volume products in a cost-efficient,
lean manufacturing process. The huge array of products, combined with TE’s ability to redesign existing products to customer
requirements, allow TE to be a reliable source for SIM and UIM card connectors.
FEATURES
• Large portfolio covering several
styles and card sizes
• Connectors optimized for reliability (i.e.
by spherical contact points increasing
hertz stress, pre-loaded contacts and
anti-retention features in the contacts.)
• The SIM connector series offers
the best possible design freedom;
many products are even scalable in
height within the same form factor
• Best possible applied cost by
fully-automated processing
BENEFITS
• Large, versatile portfolio offers the
best product closest to your need
• Highly reliable connector technology
helps customers reduce production
line defect rates – ultimately reducing
costs for quality control and service
• Very broad design freedom creates optimal
possibilities for the design engineer
to match the device’s requirements
• Fully-automated processing
leads to stable quality
• Global footprint means enhanced
support for all regions
APPLICATIONS
• Mobile phones
• Tablets
• Personal computers
• Ultraportable devices
• Data cards
• Portable GSM modems
• Servers

SIM Card Connectors
TE Offers a Variety of SIM Card Connectors
Push-pull Type
• Card guidance and card stops provides fixation of the SIM card in X, Y and Z direction
• Card is typically located inside the device shell. Consumer must open the device shell
to extract the card, and must insert and eject card manually
• Full single clip, provides shielding, and prevents card bending. This ensures a stable
connection with all card types
• Components underneath the SIM card are possible (optional)
Block Type
• Basic SIM connector without enhanced features in combination with an efficient
manufacturing process leads to an extremely cost-effective component
• Anti-lifting contact prevents the contact from being accidentally lifted, reducing the
risk of damaged contacts
• Two (2) directional mating allows for card insertion from two directions
Push-push Type
• Push to insert, push to eject mechanism provides enhanced card handling for
the end user
• Push-push type connectors are typically used under the battery cover or behind a
door at the device exterior
• The card detection switch senses card removal
• The connector reduces the risk of inserting the card in the wrong direction
Tray Type
• Tray type SIM connectors are typically used on the exterior of a device. The tray forms
a unity with the device covers
• Tray can be fully separated from the body, allowing for easy card handling
by the end user
• The connector reduces the risk of inserting the card in the wrong direction
• The card detection switch senses card removal
Combo Type
• Integrated card connector to support two cards: micro SD and micro SIM
• The stacking of two card connectors reduces the connector layout on the PCB
• There is a detect switch for micro SD
• Two types of insertion exist: cross insertion type and inline insertion type
