Title: Vertical mount micro or nano SIM card socket
Post by: DTJ on April 25, 2018, 05:20:06 am

I'm looking for a vertical mounting micro or nano SIM card socket where the socket sits perpendicular to the PCB.

I've looked on Mouser/Digikey/RS/Element14 and can't see one.

Do they exist?

Cheers.

I've never seen one, and I'm not too surprised; they are very thin compared to height and width so vertical mounting would be fragile.  Could you mount a standard socket on a vertically mounted PCB daughter board?

I figured there would be low demand for one. The daughter board is one option. Thanks.

There are nano/micro SIM socket on flex PCB on Ebay/Alibaba.
