New SD Card Reader with Stand-Off and Push/Push System

The card reader FPS009-2910-0 has been newly developed on the basis of the already established top mount component FPS009-2901-0. It offers the same advantages but also an interesting new feature: the card reader has a stand-off of 1.2mm and thus allows for mounting of other components underneath / below the reader.
As top mount component it is designed for the assembly on the top side of the PCB. A close metal cover together with four grounding tabs ensures an excellent EMC behaviour. The reader is equipped with two card brakes which effectively avoid the fling-off of the card. Further features are among others:

-       smooth push-in / push-out card insertion and extraction mechanism with

    defined ejection,

-       soft lock mechanism for the SD card,

-       automatic card detection,

-       write protection switch.

The card reader FPS009-2910-0 is packaged and delivered on tape reel belts.

This component for Flash memory card applications suits perfectly for wireless communication, portable computing and end-consumer applications.

Yamaichi Electronics do not only offer this card reader with stand-off but a wide range of card connectors for all available Flash and SIM card types with different form factors like microSD, miniSD, SD, RS-MMC, MMCmicro, MMC, CompactFlash, xD etc., as well as multicard versions.
