Features and Benefits

Push-Push Type

User-friendly push-push card ejection

• Anyone can use it easily by pushing the card to insert and withdraw it

Reliable detect switch:

• Assures card detection

Anti-card fly-out ramp and alignment guides:

• Controls card ejection forces and enables smooth card insertion and extraction

Low-profile design:

• Offers space savings for mobile and other tight packaging applications

Slope-shaped terminal:

• Prevents terminal damage when card is inserted and extracted

Inner housing rib wall:

• Protects terminal tips during card insertion

Card polarization feature:

• Unique socket design prevents improper card insertion

Pin-Eject Type

Pin ejection mechanism:

• Facilitates safe, easy and robust card ejection

Hinge Type

Durable locking system:

• Withstands high vibration, making it ideal for harsh-environment applications

Hinge type ejection design:

• Saves PCB space and offers design flexibility for tight packaging applications

Card polarization feature:

• Has a unique socket design prevents improper card insertion

Push-Pull Type

Tight coplanarity control:

• Affords high reliability for reflow soldering

Simple design without eject mechanism:

• Is lower in price than push-push ejection type

Reliable detect switch:

• Assures card detection

Compact size and low-profile height:

• Optimizes PCB real estate and offers vertical space savings

Overview

• Smaller, semi-finished products are required due to increased battery capacity and the increase in demand for an internal semiconductor chip. Molex offers compact memory card sockets with a height of no more than 1.28mm, saving PCB space.

• As products become smaller, a minor external shock could cause short-circuit or misalignment. The hinge feature keeps the card stable, protecting it from external shocks and/vibrations.

• Customers require easy card insertion and extraction for portable devices. The push-push ejection system utilizes spring elasticity, and the push-pull system utilizes simple manual ejection, simplifying card insertion and ejection for portable devices.

• There is a market demand for a small volume of multi-product supply due to card utility in various applications. Examples include drones, portable applications and IoT. Molex offers a wide range of memory card products to satisfy our customers’ needs.
