ITT Interconnect Solutions Develops Snap-on and Ultrasonic PCMCIA I/O Card Kits



SANTA ANA, CA - ITT Interconnect Solutions, a leading global manufacturer and supplier of connectors, interconnects, and cable assemblies, has developed snap-on and ultrasonic PCMCIA I/O kits with a variety of customizable features for maximum design flexibility. The snap-fit PCMCIA kit consists of a pair of robust mechanically-assembled stainless steel card covers that provide the PC card with both torsional stiffness and excellent drop test performance, while the ultrasonic kit welds the plastic cover set around the PC card ultrasonically to create a solid protective shell.

"PC card manufacturers and design engineers need a broad range of PCMCIA connector and cover set solutions for today's diverse applications, which range from notebook computers to security devices," said Keith Teichmann, director of marketing for ITT Interconnect Solutions. "ITT Interconnect Solutions has always been an innovator in PC card kit technology, having introduced the first PCMCIA frameless ultrasonic weld cover set in 1998 and the StarCard Snappy advanced snap-to-close cover set in 2005. These PCMCIA I/O kits further provide leading-edge capabilities to design engineers."

Both the snap-on and ultrasonic kits are secure and tamper-proof, and feature standard card end closure moldings along with the ability to accommodate specialized end caps or extension box designs. The robust 68-pin connector can withstand more than 10,000 mating cycles and multiple connector off-set options are available to suit a wide range of applications. Kits can be supplied with or without cardbus features, and high-volume production tooling is available on request.

ITT's PCMCIA I/O kits meet all JEIDA standards and Type I and Type II PCMCIA specifications. The RoHS compliant I/O kits also provide complete EMI shielding.

Typical pricing for the PCMCIA I/O kits ranges from $1.20 to $4.50 for quantities from 5k to 100k. Lead time is from 6 to 8 weeks.
