The 3M Header for CFast Card N7G24 Series is the latest
addition to 3M’s offering for high performance flash memory headers. Fully
compliant to the CFast standard, 3M Headers for CFast meet the CFA CFast
Specification Rev 1.0 and offer many features and options for PCB designers
seeking to implement CFast technology.
3M headers for CFast incorporate extended guide rails to
help reduce the possibility of misalignment during card installations, and
grounding clips that provide additional retention force to the card, helping
reduce the possibility of uncontrolled card removal from the connector when
ejected. The single-row surface mount co-planar tails allow for higher yields
and simplified inspection. The board mount headers are available in a low profile
configuration, or with optional 2.0-mm standoffs that allow the designer to
populate the board underneath an inserted card. The product has been tested to
comply with the CFast specification, providing 10,000 mating cycles to deliver
high durability and long product life.
3M offers optional left or right button dual-push ejectors
that provide a balanced force against the card for even and smooth card
removal. Another option for the CFast headers from 3M is the latching retainer.
The retainer clips onto the header and provides a wire latch for robust
retention, ideal for critical applications or applications subject to vibration
and shock.
