Customized Card Insertion Type

At present, our card connectors have 4 kinds of conventional plug-in type, i.e. Push-Push type, Push-Pull type, Hinge type and Pin-Eject type. Of course, if you have special requirements, we will also design and produce the plug-in type of the products you needed according to these.
Push-push type card connector

Push-Push type

This type of card insertion port is designed on the outer edge of the product, which is convenient for users to insert or pull out the memory card at any time. Users only need to gently push the card when inserting the card to achieve the function of reading the card. Moreover, when the user needs to take out the memory card, he/she needs to gently push it again to eject the card. This makes it easy to remove the card and makes the user's operation more convenient and simple.

Push-pull type card connector

Push-Pull type

This type of card insertion port is designed on the outer edge of the product, which greatly facilitates the user to insert or remove the memory card at any time. It is easy to operate, and it is possible to insert or remove the memory card directly. Moreover, because of the simplicity of our product design, the cost is lower than that of the push-push type. Optimized use of PCB dimensions results in vertical space savings.

Hinge type card connector

Hinge type

The Hinge type is designed to be used inside the product. To use the product, the case is lifted, the memory card is inserted, the case is snapped shut and locked, and reading is initiated in this manner. High vibration levels can also be tolerated by this design, making it ideal for use in harsh environments.

Pin-eject type card connector

Pin-Eject type

In this way, the card insertion port is designed on the outer edge of the product, which is convenient for users to insert or pull out the memory card at any time. When inserting a SIM card, the user needs to insert it together with the special card holder. If the SIM card needs to be removed, it can be inserted with a thimble and pushed gently, so that the SIM card and the card holder will be ejected together. The structure is designed to withstand high vibration and is waterproof, making it a good choice for use in harsh environments.

Choice of Material

Card connectors are mainly composed of plastic parts and hardware parts. Therefore, the common materials used in the production are plastic, copper and stainless steel. We will choose the most suitable material according to the characteristics of the card socket connector and the usage scenario, but also according to your needs to meet the special material customized production.
LCP plastic base of card connector

Material of Plastic Base

Card connectors are soldered to the PCB. In the welding process, the plastic base must be able to withstand high temperatures of about 260 degrees. Therefore, in the plastic body of the material, we will generally choose LCP, Nylon, this high-performance engineering plastics. It has high temperature resistance, excellent mechanical strength, dimensional stability and chemical properties. For you, this means a connector that survives lead-free reflow soldering at 260 °C without warping, so your boards stay flat and assembly yield stays high.

Phosphor bronze terminal of card connector

Material of Terminal

The terminals of the card connectors can play an important function of power conduction and signal transmission. Therefore, we generally choose phosphor bronze as the material of the terminal. It has excellent electrical conductivity, good corrosion resistance and excellent strength and hardness. For you, this means stable signal integrity and long-lasting spring force, so the card keeps making reliable contact through years of insertions.

Stainless steel shell of card connector

Material of the Shell

The shell of card connectors plays the biggest role is that its structure can support the protection of internal components and electromagnetic shielding, and to prevent external electromagnetic interference on the impact of signal transmission, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of signal transmission. Therefore, we choose stainless steel for its corrosion resistance, high-temperature tolerance and mechanical strength. For you, this means a shell that blocks electromagnetic interference and withstands harsh environments, keeping signal transmission stable in the field.

Choice of Plating

Plating treatment of the terminals and shell of the card connector can improve its corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, hardness, aesthetics and weldability and other aspects of performance, and can ensure that the connector in the use of the process can be stable and reliable work.Electroplating can form a protective metal oxide film on the surface of the terminals and shells of the card socket connectors, effectively preventing the metal surface from corrosion by air, moisture, chemicals and other corrosive substances, thereby extending the service life of the connector. Electroplating can make the surface of the card holder connector terminals more smooth, flat, and reduce the surface roughness and the presence of oxides, thereby improving the conductivity of the terminals, reducing resistance, to ensure the stability of signal transmission.The terminals of card connector and its shell of the solder pin parts will be plated with gold or tin, enhance the welding performance, improve the quality and reliability of welding.
Card connector electroplating treatment
For the terminal and housing of the card connectors, you are free to choose from a wide range of plating materials and plating thicknesses, and MOARCONN can provide you with special customized plating solutions according to your requirements.
Gold plated contact of card connector

Contact area of terminal

Plating material:

Gold plated. It has good electrical conductivity and abrasion resistance, and is not easy to oxidize, so it is commonly used in the contact part of the product, especially for the card connector with high signal transmission requirements. For you, this means dependable card reading over a long mating-cycle life — the right choice for high-frequency read/write devices.

Plating thickness:
From gold flash to 30 µ”

Size Customization of Card Connector

As products become thinner, lighter, and more specialized, users have higher requirements for the dimensions of their card socket connectors, including the following:
Low-profile card connector design

Low-profile design

Card connectors need to be designed with a low-profile form factor to accommodate thin and lightweight product form factors. Low-profile connectors can be better integrated with the product shell to reduce the overall thickness of the product, thereby enhancing the aesthetics and practicality of the product.

Miniaturized card connector dimensions

Miniaturization of dimensions

Card connectors need to be miniaturized as much as possible to reduce the size and dimensions of the connector to better meet the space constraints of thin and light products, thus making the product design more flexible.

Optimized card connector layout

Optimized layout

Card connectors need to be optimized in terms of layout, so that the location of the sockets is more reasonable and convenient for users to plug in and out of the connector. Reasonable layout design can improve the connector's ease of use and ease of operation, so as to enhance the user experience when using the product.

Regarding the external dimensions of the card socket connector, the height of the product is an important dimensional indicator that customers are more concerned about, because it affects the space size of the customer's product and the location of the card socket. Therefore, MOARCONN designs and produces card socket connectors with different height specifications for you to choose. At the same time, we would like to customize the design according to the height of the product you want, so as to give you a perfect solution.

Customization FAQs

What is the minimum order quantity for a custom card socket?

Zero. MOARCONN runs small-batch and customized card socket programs as standard, so you can start with a prototype build and scale later. Free samples come first — 20 pieces — before you commit to any volume.

How long does a custom card socket take to develop?

25 days from drawing to first article on average. Mould design, tooling and intelligent process equipment are built in the same factory, which removes the back-and-forth with outside tool shops. Rush programs can be quoted case by case.

Which drawing or file formats do you accept?

STEP, IGES, DXF and DWG for 3D and 2D drawings, plus PDF. If you do not have a drawing, send a sample part or a photo with the key dimensions — height, pitch and pad layout — and our R&D team will reverse-engineer a proposal free of charge.

Who owns the mould, and do I pay tooling?

You do. Tooling is quoted separately and confirmed in writing before any steel is cut, and the mould stays your property — it is never used for another customer's order without your written permission. For standard types with existing tooling there is no tooling charge at all.

Can you customize automotive-grade or medical-grade card sockets?

Yes. MOARCONN holds IATF 16949 for automotive and ISO 13485 for medical devices, plus ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Automotive card sockets are validated to ISO 16750-3 vibration and operate from -45 °C to 80 °C; medical builds can be produced in a dedicated clean assembly area.

How do you protect my drawing and IP?

We sign a mutual NDA before you send anything. Drawings stay inside the R&D team handling your project, tooling is stored under your part number, and MOARCONN — holder of 25 patents — treats customer designs as the customer's property by contract.
