Technical content
SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) and UIM (Universal Identity Module) cards are widely used in a variety of mobile applications, including, billing, security and number storage purposes in mobile devices. The SIM card parameters are defined by ISO, ETSI and GSM standards.

APPLICATIONS AND INDUSTRIES As the Internet of Things (IoT) market space continues to grow and electronics applications continue to focus on mobility, the need for cellular connections to the internet continues to increase. A SIM card connector is required whenever the wireless connection needs to be made through a cellular network system. As electronic devices become smaller and our world becomes increasingly mobile, the demand for SIM cards in consumer, industrial, and medical applications is on the rise. TE is ready to meet this increased demand as the electronics market continues to mature. CONSUMER ELECTRONICS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS TE TECHNICAL SUPPORT CENTER QUESTION 1 How do I decide which type of SIM connector to choose? ANSWER 1 The major difference in choosing between SIM connectors depends on the design of the customer device. Push-push or tray type SIM connectors allow users to extract the SIM card from the external portion of the device. Push-pull type, block type, and hinge type connectors require users to open the back shell of the device and manually pull out the SIM card. QUESTION 2 What is the purpose of an 8 position SIM connector? ANSWER 2 The extra two positions support an additional function like electronic payment. QUESTION 3 What is the benefit of dual-slanted contact performance? ANSWER 3 The dual-slanted design helps to minimize contact jam issues and creates a stronger mating performance, as demonstrated during the drop test. Part numbers in this brochure are RoHS Compliant*, unless marked otherwise. *as defined www.te.com/leadfree QUESTION 4 When should I use a micro SIM connector? ANSWER 4 When the device requires the use of a micro SIM card. QUESTION 5 What’s the scalable height? ANSWER 5 The scalable height is found when the SIM card connector is scalable by a different P/N, but the connector footprint stays the same. The benefit is enabling the customer to swap the product easier when a design change occurs, thereby helping to reduce the leadtime of TTM (Time To Market), TTV (Time To Value) and design cost.
