AVX Corporation, the leading manufacturer of advanced passive components and connectors, has introduced new 5036 series secure, high reliability locking SIM connectors, targeted primarily at the GSM market.
The connectors employ a push/push card insertion method, giving a clear indication that a card has been located properly, and feature Card Detection to show that a card is present. All devices in the 5036 series have the push/push locking facility, and a second level of locking can be provided by an optional slide lock version.

The connectors are available at distributor Rutronik now.

New 5036 SIM connectors conform to the relevant international standards for
SIM cards. Top and bottom metal casing ensures both a robust construction
and excellent RFI shielding. Hand assembly is simplified by optional
location pegs.

The locking system and robustness of the new 5036 SIM connectors mean that they are a cost-effective choice for applications such as utility metering,
remote monitoring, machine-to-machine interfacing, asset tracking and data
logging. The double locking system makes the connector a suitable choice
for secure applications such as in-cabin automotive electronics and medical
devices.

Six and eight way versions are available. Operating temperature range is -
40 to +85degC, and AVX can offer higher temperature versions as custom
products to meet automotive standards.

All product information stated in the current press release is based on the
franchise situation in Germany. Country specific variations may therefore
be possible.
