PC Card Sockets, also commonly referred to as Memory Connectors, are a type of interconnect used to integrate different devices to data and power bus lines. The particular part number 0677990007 is classified as an ANSI/EIA-310-D compliant PC Card Socket. As the name suggests, this device is used to connect an external memory card to a host computer. The 0677990007 is designed to mount onto a printed circuit board and accepts standard PC Card form factor cards. It provides a reliable and convenient way to access the memory cards which are a widely used type of data storage, specifically designed to work with computers.
Tips for Successful Application
Proper mounting is essential for successful application of the 0677990007. To ensure optimum contact between the card and the PC Card Socket it is recommended that the mounting surface be planar and smooth. Correct alignment of the card in the socket also needs to be taken into consideration. Uneven insertion of the card will affect the contact between the card and the socket causing poor performance of the PC Card Socket.
Working Principle of the 0677990007
When a PC Card is inserted into the 0677990007, two spring-loaded contact strips are engaged in the slots of the PC card. These contact strips are responsible for carrying power, data and control lines from the card to the host computer. The contact strips in the 0677990007 are made of a beryllium copper material which allows for excellent electrical and contact performance. The spring mechanisms inside the 0677990007 help to maintain reliable contact and pressure between the spring-loaded contact strips and the slots on the PC Card.
