Anti-Crush Stainless Steel Shell 5000 Insertions 8 Pin Micro SIM Socket

Product Specification

Molex Anti-Crush Stainless Steel Shell 5000 Insertions 8 Pin Micro SIM Socket Connector

Product Description

This 8-Pin Micro SIM Socket Connector is designed for compact PCB applications that require secure Micro SIM card retention, repeated card insertion and removal, and efficient board-level integration.

The connector combines an anti-crush contact structure, stainless steel shell, gold-plated contact interface, and SMT mounting design to address common engineering concerns such as contact damage during card insertion, limited PCB space, and long-term mechanical wear.

With a 5,000-cycle durability target, this Micro SIM card connector is suitable for electronic products where SIM access may be required during installation, maintenance, field service, or repeated device configuration.

The design is particularly suitable for IoT gateways, cellular communication equipment, industrial routers, tracking terminals, smart meters, POS terminals, telematics devices, and embedded wireless products
