Micro SIM Card Connector for Board-Level Integration
The Molex 0787231001 is a 6-position Micro SIM connector from the 78723 series, designed for surface-mount, right-angle attachment to a PCB. It accepts a Micro SIM card via a push-in, pull-out method — no ejector mechanism — and sits 1.35 mm above the board surface. The contacts are finished in gold at 15.0 µin, a plating grade suited to the repeated insertion cycles a SIM connector sees in mobile devices, IoT modules, and field-service equipment.
Board Footprint and Clearance
The surface-mount termination suits automated pick-and-place assembly and reflow soldering, common in mid-to-high-volume production runs.
Contact and Retention Design
The push-in, pull-out card retention relies on contact beam friction rather than a mechanical latch or ejector — a simpler, lower-profile design that reduces part count but means the card is held by the contacts alone.
