Smart card reader. Source: TE Connnectivity
TE’s smart card reader is compact (112.2 x 61.5 x 6.05 mm), withstands high vibrations (up to 1000 Hz), and endures severe mechanical shocks (up to 50G). The smart card reader has a -25° to + 80°C working temperature, making it suitable for tachograph applications that face wide climate variations.
The smart card reader is designed for easy card insertion and utilizes an electromechanical ejector for quick and automatic card removal. It is extremely durable and supports 25,000 card insertion/removal cycles. The smart card reader’s heavy-duty thermoplastic body has a flammability rating of UL 94 V0.
Two variations of the new smart card reader are available: Part number 1955562-1 and part number 1955562-2. Both part numbers are identical in performance, but part number 1955562-2 features a shorter PCB strip to meet specific application requirements.
