Description
Overview
A small PCB holding a 6-pin SIM socket, with its contacts broken out to a 2.54 mm DIP footprint. A card can be read or jumpered away from the device it normally lives in.
Specifications
- Socket contacts: 6 pins
- Card sizes: large SIM, micro SIM, nano SIM
- Output footprint: 2.54 mm DIP pitch
- Board type: SIM slot jack converter, test board
Purpose
SIM contacts are tiny and sit in an awkward tray, so probing a live card is frustrating. This brings the six contacts out to hobby-standard spacing for a reader or module.
Applications
- Wiring a SIM to a GSM or LTE module
- Bench testing a card without opening a phone
- SIM reader and programmer prototypes
- Contact recovery from a damaged handset
- Classroom and demo circuits
How to Use
- Pick the variant matching the card: large, micro or nano.
- Find pin 1 using the card’s chamfered corner.
- Solder header pins to the 2.54 mm pads, keeping leads short.
- Power down before inserting or removing the card.
- Caution: hold the board by its edges; grease on the gold contacts causes read errors.
- Check continuity from each header pin to its card contact.
