SIMpad forum / Pcmcia Connector
« on: March 02, 2006, 04:11:15 am »
Hi to all the simpad lovers.
I have just received one of the simpad sold on the german ebay.
Ebay link
It is a great toy bu does not have the pcmcia connector.
I open it an i discovered that there is space on the pcb for it, but the frame and the connector is missing.
It looks also thathe there are all the IC, so i guess the pcmcia controller is there.
Can anyone sen me a picture of the original connector or the part number of it as i would like to buy one and solder it?
I have found a company that make this kind of connectors but there are may options:
PRODUCT LINK
I do not need the entire frame, but yust the connector ready for "surface mounting" soldering .
I guess the problem is to find if the simpad requires a "above" or "below" PCB side.
Thanks.
