MemoryStick micro™ card connector push (lock) / push (eject) type 

We are pleased to announce the development, and the commencement of marketing, of a MemoryStick micro™ card connector which suits the MemoryStick micro™ currently attracting the industry's attention as an ultra small memory card. Specifics of this new connector are outlined below.


Demands for this MemoryStick micro™ are expected to further develop centering around the offshore market.


This new product is designed as small as 1.95 mm in height when mounted, 15 mm in depth and 14.9 mm in breadth. Its dimensional advantage will be found to be very effective in thinner and smaller products including mobile phones.


A very operable push (lock) / push (eject) system is employed for card insertion/ejection operation. Despite its compact size, consideration is made for good operability by reserving a long 3.5 mm card displacement distance (when a card is ejected after complete insertion).


half-locking mechanism is provided to the slider to prevent forced ejection while engaged and fly-out of cards when ejected. In addition, the safety level of data on cards is elevated. Also provided is a protective mechanism for insertion of cards in an opposite direction.


Note) MemoryStick micro™ is a Sony Corp.'s trade name.
