PC Card Kits Are Customizable

The company’s snap-on and ultrasonic PCMCIA I/O kits offer a variety of customizable features. The snap-fit PCMCIA kit consists of a pair of mechanically-assembled stainless steel card covers that provide the PC card with both torsional stiffness and reliable drop test performance while the ultrasonic kit welds the plastic cover set around the PC card ultrasonically to create a protective shell. Both the snap-on and ultrasonic kits are secure and tamper-proof and feature standard card end closure moldings along with the ability to accommodate specialized end caps or extension box designs. Their 68-pin connector can withstand more than 10,000 mating cycles and multiple connector off-set options are available. Additionally, kits are available with or without cardbus features and high-volume production tooling is available on request. Typical pricing for the PCMCIA I/O kits ranges from $1.20 to $4.50 each/5,000 to 100,000. ITT INDUSTRIES, CANNON, Santa Ana, CA. (714) 557-4700.
