Global Connector Technology is first to market with a low profile Nano SIM connector.

SIM8050 accepts the recently introduced Nano SIM card format, Nano-SIM or 4FF (4th form factor) measures 12.3mm x 8.8mm x 0.67mm, Nano SIM maintains the existing contact arrangements while reducing the size of card insulator vs. Micro SIM cards. At 0.67 mm thickness Nano-SIM cards are approximately 15% percent slimmer than Mini/Micro SIM at 0.76mm.

Measuring a tiny 11.00mm x 12.30mm, SIM8050 is push/pull type with 6 contacts and 1.45mm profile height. The connector is suitable for 5,000 mating cycles with an operating temperature of -20°C to +80°C. A card stop function allows the Nano SIM card to be inserted only in the correct orientation while plastic pegs and SMT holdowns provide extra PCB retention.
