This series makes its inspection and repair simpler through the use of external SMT leads, which are visible and easily accessible. Also, the mechanical locking structure with "stopper" and "lock" components prevents dislodgement of cards due to vibration or physical shock, and the multiple hold-downs ensure secure retention of the connector to the PCB - and thus stable data transmission - even under harsh conditions. The components also impress with their ease of use and have a switch for detecting card insertion. They are suitable for a wide range of applications, including smartphones, drones, action cameras, and other small portable electronic devices and are available at www.rutronik24.com.
The slot has a push-push connector for microSDTM cards. These are compatible with UHS-I, feature ten contacts with an initial contact resistance of up to 100 mΩ and are 1.4 mm x 14.6 mm x 15.3 mm in size. They have a dielectric strength of 500 Vr.m.s. for up to one minute and an initial insulation resistance of at least 1000 MΩ.
The ST12 series enables up to 10,000 mating cycles, as well as operating temperatures of -25 °C to +85 °C. The area of the soldering terminals is located on the outside of the connector housing to enable easy inspection and repair.
