Memory Connectors - PC Card Sockets

PC Card Sockets, more commonly known as PCMCIA sockets, are small form factor memory connectors used to expand the range of portable devices such as laptops, tablets, smartphones, digital cameras and other portable computing devices. PC Card Sockets (sometimes referred to as PCMCIA sockets) are used to connect a range of external devices like USB, IEEE 1394, cameras, storage devices, memory cards, USB hubs, etc. to a computer.

The 5146321-1 PC Card Socket is a standard size PC Card Socket that has been developed specifically for the PCMCIA 1.8mm MEMORY protocol. This protocol is used to control the range of devices that use a PC Card Socket. The 5146321-1 is a 5-pin socket which provides a connection between the device and the computer, allowing various plug and play operations between the two.

The 5146321-1 PC Card Socket is designed to enable the connection of PC Card devices to a computer system, allowing up to 80 Mbps of data transfer between the two devices. The 5146321-1 is a compliant protocol which ensures seamless communication and the correct power levels for the appropriate devices connected to the socket. The socket’s 5 pins are used to supply power from a laptop battery or other external power sources to the PC card device, and to carry data in and out of the device.

The 5146321-1 socket provides a reliable connection between the laptop computer and the PC Card device and is designed to meet the maximum speeds offered by the PC Card standard. The socket’s interface is capable of providing a low-power, yet high-speed data transfer rate of up to 160Mbps between the two devices. It is also designed to protect the PC Card device from environmental exposure, such as dust and other contaminants.

In terms of applications, the 5146321-1 PC Card Socket can be used to allow a laptop or tablet to access a variety of peripherals, such as cameras, memory cards, USB hubs, and other devices. Additionally, it can be used to support eMMC compatibility. This allows for external storage drives and memory cards to be read or written to the laptop’s internal memory, greatly expanding its storage capabilities.

The 5146321-1 PC Card Socket is an ideal solution for those wanting to expand the functionality of their laptop while maintaining a secure connection, as the socket is designed to meet the standards of the PCMCIA specification. In addition, the socket’s small form factor allows for its use in many different form factors, from tablets to laptops, making it an ideal solution for those wanting to maintain a reliable connection with their devices.
