What This SIM Card Connector Is
The Molex 1511300001 is a 6-position SIM card connector from the 151130 series, designed for surface mount, right-angle mounting on a PCB. It accepts a standard SIM card via push-in insertion and pull-out removal — no ejector mechanism. The 0.015 inch (0.38 mm) height above board keeps the card slot low-profile for compact handheld or embedded designs.
Molex lists the 1511300001 as Obsolete. No official replacement order code has been assigned by the manufacturer. No direct pin-compatible cross-reference from Molex is on record; any alternative would require a PCB layout review.
What the Gold Plating Means for Field Life
For a connector that lives inside a sealed device (handheld terminal, payment reader, IoT gateway), that plating grade matches the expected service life. Tin-plated contacts would gall and degrade faster under repeated card swaps.
