microSDTM/TransFlashTM Card Connectors
DM3 Series
NEW
Features
1. Extremely small size
The width of 13.85 mm, length of 15.95 mm and height of 1.68
mm makes this connector smallest on the market.
2. Card fall-out prevention
Built-in card tray and unique push-push ejection
mechanism (patent pending) prevents accidental card
ejection or fall-out.
3. Reverse card insertion protection
Unique card slot metal tabs (patent pending) protect
connector from damage when the card is attempted to be
inserted in reverse.
The card may be easily removed and re-inserted correctly.
4. Long card ejection distance
Despite it's small size the push-push ejection will eject card for
the large distance of 4.0 mm allowing easy hold and removal
of the card.
5. Multiple ground and shield connections
4 connection points of the metal cover (at each corner of
the connector) to the printed circuit board surface assure
reliable ground connections.
6. Rigid and strong construction
All plastic components held by the metal top created a
strong and rigid connector while retaining it’s extremely
small size.
7. Card detection switch
The card detection switch is normally open.
8. Exposed termination leads
Easy inspection and rework of solder joints.
9. RoHS compliant
All components and materials comply with the requirements
of the EU Directive 2002/95/EC.
Applications
Mobile phones, digital cameras, PDA’s and any other
portable device requiring use of small size, high durability
microSDTM memory card connectors.

Precautions and use recommendations
1. Do not immerse or clean the entire connector with cleaning solutions as this may affect proper operation of the
ejection mechanism and electrical performance of the connector.
Clean ONLY the soldered termination areas.
2. Do not apply excessive force to connector when handling or after installation on the PC board.
3. The connector will reliably connect and function with the correctly inserted microSDTM or TransFlashTM cards. The
connector will not allow reverse insertion of the card.
Do NOT force reverse oriented card in to the connector as this may cause permanent damage to the card or
connector.
4. Do not use force when removing the inserted card from the connector.
5. Protective cover recommendations.
To avoid accidental damage to the connector or electrical discontinuity when the device may be accidentally dropped
it is recommended to have a removable, sliding or hinged protective cover, as shown on the illustration below.
6. Recommended application area for surface mounting adhesive
Surface mounting adhesive must be applied on the PCB only in the area indicated on the illustration below.
Excessive amount of the adhesive may affect the soldered termination leads.
Use only the minimum required amount of adhesive.
7. The connector must be correctly mounted on the PC board before the card can be inserted. Do not insert card in the
un-mounted connector.

8. Mounting on the Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC)
To assure correct performance it is recommended that a flat reinforcement plate 0.3 mm min. thick be used under
the FPC.
9. To assure card guidance during insertion and the protection of the exposed edge when fully inserted it is
recommended that the users housing be designed as illustrated below.
10. The edge of the moveable tray may be visually slanted as shown on the illustration below. This has no affect on
connector performance.
11. Small visible residual manufacturing oils or tooling marks do not affect connector performance.
12. Repeated insertions and removal of the cards may leave some marks on the card itself. This will have no affect on
the connector prformance.
13. The card detection contacts are exposed.
Exercise extra caution during handling and installation on the PC board as to avoid damage or contamination to
them.
