SD Card Connector with Integrated Ejector
The Molex 5035000993 is a Secure Digital (SD) card connector and ejector from the 503500 series, designed for surface mount, right-angle placement on a PCB. It accepts standard SD cards and provides 12 positions arranged as 9 signal/command contacts plus 3 dedicated power/ground contacts — matching the standard SD card interface pinout. The push-push mechanism (Push In, Push Out) lets the user insert the card until it latches, then push again to release it, which is the standard user experience for SD card slots in consumer and industrial equipment. The connector sits 0.116" (2.95 mm) above the board, a height that accommodates the SD card thickness and allows the ejector spring to travel.
The connector includes a mounting feature described as Normal, Standard - Top, indicating the card sits above the PCB with the ejector mechanism on the top side of the assembly. The right-angle footprint requires a cutout or slot in the PCB edge for the card to protrude — confirm the board edge clearance before layout finalization. The package is Tape & Reel (TR) with Cut Tape (CT) option, which suits the pick-and-place assembly line for volume production. The 2.95 mm height above board is tight enough for most enclosures but leaves room for the card to extend beyond the board edge — check the enclosure wall clearance for the card insertion depth.
