Can anybody identify this MMC card socket?

Jim McCorison

BiPom uses a really nice looking MMC card connector on one of their boards. You can see a picture of it at www.bipom.com/images/enlarge/periph/mmc_board.jpg. Does anybody recognize this and know who makes it? I checked through Mouser and DigiKey and didn't see anything that looks like it.

Thanks,
Jim

I don't know who makes that one, but Spark Fun makes a nice one as well:

Matthew,

Thanks, but these won't fit the bill. I'm looking for a connector which will rigidly hold the MMC card in place. Ideally I'd like to be able to do this without additional hardware or case design features. That's why the one that BiPom is using is so appealing. It mounts flush on the surface of the board and has a spring loaded latch that locks the card in place. You can see that latch on the left side of the card in the photo.

Yea, I was thinking about that.

I'll let you know if I see anything of its type.

I looked around, but I couldn't find any. My only suggestion is to ask the company that sells the board. Perhaps its a euro part, they don't advertise on the web as much as american manufacturers do.
