GCT Launch Improved Tiny Footprint Nano SIM Connector

Following customer feedback GCT is launching the re-engineered SIM8050 Nano SIM connector, which at .425” x .480” has the smallest footprint of any push-pull connector on the market.

The product has evolved to include a protective full metal shell and a height reduction to .053”.   Improved card insertion and extraction allows for a better user experience, while maintaining excellent vibration and shock characteristics.

GCT’s Nano SIM socket accepts the 4th form factor Nano SIM card format. This format measures .484” (L) x .346” (W) x .026” (T) and maintains existing SIM contact arrangements while reducing insulator size and thickness versus Micro SIM cards. Nano-SIM cards are approximately 15% percent slimmer than .029” thick Mini and Micro SIM cards.

A Dash of Maxwell’s: A Maxwell’s Equations Primer – Part Two

Maxwell’s Equations are eloquently simple yet excruciatingly complex. Their first statement by James Clerk Maxwell in 1864 heralded the beginning of the age of radio and, one could argue, the age of modern electronics.

SIM8050 is a push-pull connector with 6 contacts and .053” height above PCB.  Measuring just .425” x .480”, a full metal shell protects the Nano SIM card. The connector is suitable for 5,000 card insertion cycles, while a card stop function prevents mis-orientation during card insertion.  Plastic pegs and SMT hold-downs offer accurate PCB placement and PCB retention strength.

To speed up design downloadable drawings, 3D models and specification are available from the GCT website.
