71240-240CALF

The 71240-240CALF Memory Connector is a PC Card Socket designed for high-density applications in which space is of the essence. This card holder has a streamlined profile, with a small footprint and splice connection points that allow the user to easily attach their motherboard or other device to the card. It also has a multitude of features to ensure the optimal performance of the PC Card on the motherboard.The main applications of the 71240-240CALF Memory Connector include industrial and military applications, where high-density, low-profile and reliable connections are critical. This card holder is also ideal for applications such as Layer 2 switches, routers, ATM switches and modems that need to be reliable and fast as possible.The primary working principle of the 71240-240CALF Memory Connector is based on its unique design, which utilizes the “Marlboro principle” of card connection. This is a patented technology developed by Marlboro Systems in collaboration with the Intel Corporation for dual port card connections, providing users with the highest levels of performance and reliability. This technology is divided into two key stages - firstly, the card is seated in the card holder using two specific connection points, which are designed to hold the PC Card securely and minimize insertion force. Secondly, the remaining connection points enable the PC Card to be monitored, allowing the connector to send out various signals in order to detect any potential connection problems.The card holder also features integrated thermistors, which are designed to reduce the risk of overheating by monitoring the temperature of the card mount and the PC Card. This ensures the optimal performance of the PC Card, as well as enhancing the overall system reliability. Additionally, the 71240-240CALF Memory Connector uses an elastomeric polycarbonate contact material, which reduces corrosion and wear on both the card mount and the PC Card.In conclusion, the 71240-240CALF Memory Connector is a highly reliable and streamlined PC Card Socket designed for industrial and military applications. It utilizes the patented “Marlboro principle” of card connection, which not only enables the highest levels of performance and reliability, but also reduces the risk of overheating. The card holder also has integrated thermistors, elastomeric polycarbonate contact material and splice connection points to further ensure the optimal performance of the PC Card.
