Device Identification
Manufacturer Part Number: 693022010811
Manufacturer: Würth Elektronik
Product Series: WR-CRD
Device Category: Connector and Interconnect Component
Device Type: Micro SIM Card Connector
Connector Style: Hinge Type
Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle
Functional Description
The device functions as a board-mounted Micro SIM card interface. It provides mechanical retention and electrical contact between the SIM card and the host printed circuit board. The hinged lid design allows the SIM card to be placed into the connector and secured during operation, helping maintain contact stability in compact electronic assemblies.
Mechanical Description
The connector is designed with a low-profile surface-mount construction suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts. It uses a hinged card-retention mechanism and is intended for horizontal or right-angle card installation. The mechanical structure supports reliable insertion, retention, and removal of the Micro SIM card during normal use.
Electrical Description
The connector is intended for signal-level SIM card interface applications. It provides multiple gold-plated contact positions for stable electrical connection between the SIM card and the host circuit. The device should be used within the manufacturer’s specified voltage, current, contact resistance, and insulation limits.
Material and Contact Description
The connector uses copper alloy contacts with gold plating for reliable signal transfer and corrosion resistance. The housing and mechanical retention structure are designed for surface-mount assembly and repeated card handling within the rated operating conditions.
Mounting and Assembly Description
The component is suitable for automated surface-mount PCB assembly. Proper land pattern design, soldering profile control, and mechanical clearance should be followed according to the manufacturer’s recommended layout and assembly guidance. The PCB design should provide stable grounding, correct pad alignment, and adequate clearance for SIM card insertion and lid operation.
Application Suitability
The 693022010811 is suitable for cellular communication devices, IoT modules, wireless routers, embedded modems, tracking systems, smart meters, industrial communication equipment, portable electronics, and other products requiring a Micro SIM card interface.
Design Considerations
The connector should be placed in an accessible area of the PCB to allow SIM card installation and removal. Designers should avoid excessive mechanical stress on the hinged lid, improper solder joint loading, contamination of the contact area, and operation beyond the specified environmental and electrical ratings.
