Copper Alloys for SIM Card Connectors
Backgrounds and Trends
Lower profiles are increasingly demanded for the slots used to insert communication SIM cards, or SD memory cards used to transfer and store music, images, text, and other data, as smartphones and other equipment equipped with such slots become lighter and thinner.
SIM Card Dimensions
Material Requirements
Alloys with high yield strength and high workability are demanded so that even thin materials can maintain the necessary contact pressure.
We have the lineup of materials detailed below to meet these demands. These alloys are already in wide use, mainly in smartphones.
