The PC Card (PCMCIA stands for Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) sockets 146767-1 are part of a group of memory connectors that allow connection of expansion cards within laptop computers. These expansion cards are used to add features and peripherals such as modems, USB, SCSI, NICs, Wifi, and more to a laptop computer. The PC Card socket type 146767-1 is available as an internal wall mount or deep removeable socket option which gives the laptop user easy access to the card and the card readers.

Application Field

The application field for the 146767-1 PC Card Socket is large. They are commonly used in a variety of laptop computers, on surface mount motherboards, and in PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) socket devices. The PC Card sockets 146767-1 are most commonly used to add additional storage to laptop computers. They are also used to add more features to the computers such as wireless cards, modems, NICs (Network Interface Cards), and various other PCMCIA-standard inputs and outputs.

Working Principle

The 146767-1 PC Card Socket, like other memory connectors, operates principle is simple. The PC Card (PCMCIA) socket is designed for a specific laptop computer model. This socket provides passive connection between the laptop and the PC Card. It is designed to provide a snug fit such that the card is securely held in place. When the PC Card is inserted, the electrical connection is made and the laptop is now able to communicate with the card and recognize it. If the card is an external device, then the appropriate drivers need to be loaded on the laptop prior to use.

The PC Card socket 146767-1 is also equipped with two power leads. These leads are used to provide power to the PC Card. The power is typically provided in the form of 5V, 12V, or 24V depending on the device that is being connected. The power leads also provide a way to disconnect the card from the laptop without having to remove the card from the laptop physically. This makes it convenient to switch between cards without having to physically remove them from a laptop each time.

The PC Card socket 146767-1 also offers additional security features. The socket is made of a solid material that makes it resistant to physical damage. The socket also has a built-in overvoltage protection circuit that prevents damage to the laptop or card in the event of power surge or short circuit. The socket also offers ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection that prevents the card from becoming damaged from static electricity during handling.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Like many memory connectors, the PC Card socket 146767-1 offers both advantages and disadvantages. One of the main advantages is that it is a universal type of connector. It is compatible with most laptop models and PCMCIA devices, making it a convenient solution for increasing storage capacity within laptop computers. This socket is also relatively inexpensive and easy to use.

The main disadvantage of the 146767-1 PC Card Socket is its limited storage capability. This socket type is limited to 1-16GB of storage, so it is not suitable for all applications. Additionally, some cards require higher voltage than what the 146767-1 socket is capable of providing. Finally, the socket is not compatible with all motherboard models, so be sure to check compatibility before using the connector for your laptop or PCMCIA device.
