Memory Connectors - PC Card Sockets

The PC card socket, one of the key components in memory connectors, is used to join physical devices together and form a connection. The 87536-001LF is a wiring spec compliant, low-profile and high-density card socket. It is specifically designed for use as a miniature connector for PC cards. From LAN modules to memory expansion cards, this PC card socket is perfect for a variety of applications.

Application Field

The 87536-001LF PC card socket is ideal for applications involving miniaturized systems such as embedded computing, medical equipment, data acquisition/control, communications systems, and telecommunications applications. This particular card socket is reliable and extremely versatile, making it a great choice for applications which require quick and easy connectivity. Additionally, the 87536-001LF’s small form factor and high-density design make it ideal for low-profile applications that require maximum functionality and reliability.

Working Principle

This card socket works on the principle of current flow through the PC card, which is usually handled by a power supply. Once activated, the card socket is then connected to the host computer or other device by signals transmitted through the internal wiring of the card socket. Depending on the card’s design, the internal wiring may be designed to support higher speeds, or a vacuum environment, or a combination of both. In addition, the card socket allows for the use of multiple cards, making it an ideal solution for applications involving a multitude of different devices.

Loading a PC card into the 87536-001LF socket involves the simple process of slotting the card into the socket and connecting the internal wiring to both the host computer and the card. Once connected, the card is then able to gain access to the host computer’s resources and transfer any data or commands to it. In some cases, the card socket may be used in combination with a power supply or other accessory to provide additional features or enhance the functionality of the card.
