FAQs

Q: Does this support high-speed UHS-I microSD cards?
A: Yes, the connector’s 8-data-pin configuration fully supports UHS-I transfer speeds up to 104MB/s.

Q: What’s the operating temperature range?
A: Refer to the Molex datasheet (available at PCXCo.com/datasheets) for detailed specifications, but typical industrial-grade connectors operate from -40°C to +85°C.

Q: Is the gold plating sufficient for frequent card swaps?
A: Absolutely. The 20µin gold finish exceeds 10,000 insertion cycles, ensuring longevity in high-use scenarios.

Q: Can PCX provide samples before bulk orders?
A: Yes, PCX offers sample requests for qualifying projects – contact our support team for details.

Q: Why choose surface-mount over through-hole connectors?
A: SMT connectors save PCB space, enable automated assembly, and improve signal integrity in high-frequency applications.

Q: Are mating height tolerances critical for design?
A: Yes. The 1.80mm height specification ensures proper clearance for card insertion – always verify stack-up dimensions in your layout.
