SIM/SAM card connector with integrated ejector — 8 positions, SMT right-angle
The TE Connectivity 5145299-1 is a surface-mount, right-angle connector and ejector designed for SIM and SAM cards. It accepts both card types — the 8 (6 + 2) position layout matches the standard ISO 7816 contact footprint. The hinged lid mechanism inserts and removes the card without requiring a separate tool, and the integrated ejector pushes the card out when the lid is lifted. Board features include a board guide and card guide to align the card during insertion, plus a switch contact that detects card presence. The 4.50 mm height above board keeps the stack low for compact handheld or embedded designs. Contact finish is gold — standard for SIM card connectors where repeated insertion cycles and corrosion resistance in portable electronics matter. The connector is ROHS3 compliant.
Mounting and footprint — SMT right-angle, board guide, card guide
The board guide and card guide help align the SIM/SAM during insertion, reducing stress on the solder joints. The switch contact provides a card-detect signal to the host controller. Confirm the solder pad layout from the product drawing to match the 8-position footprint.
