MEM Connector Selection Guide

GCT offers two types of connectors that are suitable for Micro SD cards: Push-Push style and Hinged style. The Push-Push style offers a built-in spring system, braking tabs and rib-wall in the inner housing, allowing the card to be inserted and extracted in a controlled, smooth and reliable manner. This eliminates the risk of the card falling out, sticking or becoming damaged on insertion and extraction. Additionally, the Push-Push style features a card detection switch, which is an electrical detection to ensure the card is correctly inserted or extracted.

For environments that require extra security, GCT provides the hinged style connector. This connector locks down the card, minimising movement and ensuring a secure contact. In high vibration settings, the hinged style connector is the ideal choice for protecting your data.
