Aiming at mobile phone, point-of-sale, and GPS applications, the CCM01 and CCM02 smart-card connectors come in sealed, normally open card-detection switches, and a chamfered opening in the card-entry slot improves card guidance. The eight-contact CCM01connector has a 100,000-cycle-minimum mechanical life. The eight-contact CCM02 series connector has a 500,000-cycle-minimum mechanical life and provides an antipiracy system. Additional features include a 10N maximum-card insertion force and a 0.25 to 0.5N contact-force range. The connectors target use with full-sized ID1 cards, and prices range from 10 cents to $6, depending on type and quantity.

The PA-BGA117C-P-S-01 prototyping adapter works with the SS-BGA117C-01 clamshell spring-pin ZIF socket, providing access to address and data lines and enabling IC swap-out. The adapter interfaces the 117-position, 0.075-in.-pitch BGA SMT-land pattern to a 0.1-in.-center PGA. Gold-plated, solder-tail, machined pins provide increased reliability when users plug the adapter into a receptacle or solder it to a PCB. The adapters optionally have wire-wrap pins, allowing designers to built prototypes on inexpensive wire-wrap panels. The clamshell ZIF socket has low-inductance spring pins with 500,000-insertion capability. The socket operates at 10-GHz bandwidth with less than 1-dB insertion loss. The adapter costs $190, and the clamshell spring-pin ZIF socket costs $1288 (10).
