SIM Card Connector Assembly: Step-by-Step Manufacturing Process

Nov 20,2025

Introduction


SIM card connectors may look small, but the manufacturing behind them is a complete engineering system. At Moarconn, we combine precision tooling, high-accuracy stamping, automated assembly, and strict quality control to ensure every connector meets telecom-grade reliability.

Tooling & Mold Development


Production starts with designing stamping molds and injection molds. The accuracy of these tools directly determines connector performance—especially card alignment, contact force, insertion smoothness, and lifespan.

High-Precision Stamping


Contacts are stamped from copper alloy strips using high-speed progressive stamping machines. Moarconn maintains dimensional tolerances within microns to ensure stable signal transmission and consistent insertion force.

Surface Plating


To enhance conductivity and prevent corrosion, contacts go through selective plating (gold, gold-flash, tin, or palladium-nickel). The plating thickness is monitored in real time to guarantee connector durability over thousands of insertion cycles.

Injection Molding


Housing parts are molded with high-temperature engineering plastics such as LCP or PA9T. Low warpage and high dimensional stability ensure the SIM card fits securely without jamming.

Automated Assembly


Moarconn’s in-house automated assembly equipment positions contacts, inserts springs, locks housings, and conducts real-time optical inspection. Automation improves consistency and reduces manual defects.

Functional Testing


Before packaging, every connector undergoes mechanical and electrical testing:

Insertion/withdrawal force

Contact resistance

Card detection switch testing

Durability test up to 10,000+ cycles

Final QC & Packaging


Qualified parts are packed in tape & reel, tray, or customized packaging options to support SMT assembly or hand-mount applications.
