TE Connectivity (TE) introduces the 3-in-2 card connector which features an innovative anti-buckling contact design for a more robust solution than competitive products. This design helps prevent damage to contacts during card insertion and removal. This card connector’s space-efficient design features two cavities with the flexibility to accept either two SIM cards, or one SIM card and one micro SD card. It saves about 20% PCB space over other combo type card connectors. Better coplanarity control helps ensure an efficient manufacturing process with fewer defects and makes the soldering process easier.
