Answer 4 Answer 1 When the device requires the use of a micro SIM card. The major difference in choosing between SIM connectors depends on the design of the customer Question 5 device. Push-push or tray type SIM connectors allow What’s the scalable height? users to extract the SIM card from the external portion of the device. Push-pull or block type connectors Answer 5 require users to open the back shell of the device and The scalable height is found when the SIM card manually pull out the SIM card. connector is scalable by a different P/N, but the connector footprint stays the same. The benefit is enabling the customer to swap the product easily when Question 2 a design change occurs, thereby reducing the lead- What is the purpose of an 8 position SIM connector? time of TTM (Time To Market), TTV (Time To Value) and Answer 2 design cost. The extra two positions support an additional function like electronic payment. Question 3 What is the benefit of dual-slanted contact performance? Answer 3 The dual-slanted design minimizes contact jam issues and creates a stronger mating performance, as demonstrated during the drop test.
