Memory Connectors - PC Card Sockets

009162006206175 Application Field and Working Principle

The PC Card, also known as "PCMCIA" ("Personal Computer Memory Card International Association"), is an industry trade organization that created this standard for credit card-sized cards and their related connectors. PCMCIA is an acronym for "Personal Computer Memory Card International Association". The 009162006206175 is a PC Card socket, which is a type of connector that is designed to hold a PCMCIA card and enable them to be electrically connected to a computer or other device.

PC Card sockets are often used to add additional memory, networking, or other specialized functionality to portable computers and other devices. This type of connector is typically embedded in the side or the back of the computer, and can either use a push-pull method of connection or a flip-up interface to connect the PCMCIA card. The socket can also be used to add expansion cards for installing additional hardware or add-on peripherals.

The 009162006206175 PC Card Socket uses a contact angle of 90° and a "click-in" spring mechanism to ensure a secure and reliable connection. The contact angle ensures that the PC card is inserted into the connector at the correct angle, and the spring-loaded mechanism holds the PC card firmly in place with minimal effort. To remove the PC card, the spring mechanism can be disengaged and the PC card can be pulled forward from the socket.

The 009162006206175 PC Card socket is normally used on portable computers, such as laptops or notebooks that feature PC card expansion slots. This type of PC Card socket is also commonly used in many other electronic devices, such as PDAs, digital cameras, and other small form factor devices.

The 009162006206175 PC Card socket is typically connected to a host device, such as a laptop computer, via USB, IEEE 1394, or some other interface. The PC Card itself can be used to store data, install specialized programs, or provide additional memory or storage space. The PC Card socket can also be used to interface with other devices, such as a modem or network adapter.

The 009162006206175 PC Card socket is a reliable and cost-effective way to add memory, storage, or other specialized functions to any system. This type of connector is particularly useful in portable computers, where the PC Card socket can be used to add additional flexibility and convenience to the system.
