Custom PCMCIA Express Card capability detailed in new application note
ITT Interconnect Solutions provides design engineers the expertise to customize PCMCIA Express Cards to meet specific applications and requirements as described in its application note. Responding to industry requirements for a higher pin count in a smaller size, the company recently expanded its Express Card product offering with 26 pin edge card connectors and cover sets that meet the PCMCIA industry's demands for 34mm (ExpressCard/34) and 54mm (ExpressCard/54) wide modules.
The 26 pin connectors offer multiple off-sets, snap-on and ultrasonic weld cover sets, customized end caps and extension boxes, host connectors, and single slot ejectors. The stainless steel cover sets feature quick and easy assembly.
With a universal slot design and module formats measuring 5mm deep by just 75mm long, the connectors and cover sets enable both compact ExpressCard/34 and /54 cards to fit in the same aperture, saving component count. RoHS compliant, the cards withstand up to 10,000 cover set mating cycles.
Applications are varied and include notebook/desktop computers, storage media, server-memory cards, wireless and wired communications, set-top boxes, handheld scanners, security ID and biometric devices.
