Buyer’s Guide — Choosing the Right Card Connector for Your Product
1. Introduction — Why Card Connectors Matter
In today’s fast-evolving electronics industry—from smartphones and IoT devices to automotive infotainment systems and industrial controllers—card connectors play a vital role as the interface for data exchange and memory expansion.
A high-quality connector ensures signal stability, mechanical durability, and long-term reliability—all essential factors that directly impact your product’s performance.
Moarconn, based in Dongguan, China, specializes in SIM, Nano SIM, SD, and Micro SD card connectors. With independent mold design, injection molding, and assembly capabilities, Moarconn provides comprehensive OEM and ODM solutions trusted by global electronics brands.
2. Understanding Card Connector Types
Different products require different connector formats. Here are the most common ones:
SIM Card Connectors — Used in mobile communication devices; support Nano, Micro, and standard SIM.
SD Card Connectors — Used for removable storage in cameras, automotive, and embedded systems.
Micro SD Card Connectors — Compact and ideal for portable or IoT devices.
Combo Connectors — Combine SIM + SD in one module to save PCB space.
Moarconn offers a complete range of high-performance card connectors compliant with SD 7.0, Nano SIM, and eSIM standards, comparable in precision and reliability to TE and Molex.
3. Key Factors to Consider When Choosing a Card Connector
Factor | Description | ||
Card Type & Size | Ensure compatibility with your device’s card format. | ||
Mounting Type | Choose push-push, push-pull, or hinged type depending on user experience. | ||
Durability (Mating Cycles) | Select connectors rated for ≥5000 cycles for industrial reliability. | ||
Environmental Conditions | Consider humidity, vibration, and temperature tolerance. | ||
Data Transfer Performance | Opt for high-speed connectors supporting SD7.0 (up to 985 MB/s). | ||
Contact Material | Gold-plated contacts ensure corrosion resistance and stable signals. |
All Moarconn card connectors are rigorously tested under IEC 60512 and RoHS/REACH standards to ensure contact reliability and environmental durability.
