JAE Launches ST20 Series: Stacked-Tray Combo Connector for nanoSIM and microSD™ Cards

July 2, 2026

JAE has developed and launched the ST20 Series, a compact push-pull tray combo connector that supports nanoSIM and microSD™ (＊1) cards in a stacked, two-tier tray structure.

Stacked-Tray Combo Connector ST20 Series for nanoSIM and microSD™ Cards

Overview

SIM cards enable mobile network connectivity and voice service, while SD cards provide data storage and backup. A growing number of devices — including smartphones, drones, and dashcams — now require both a nanoSIM and a microSD card.
JAE's existing ST19 Series addresses this need with a compact combo connector that accepts both cards side-by-side on a single plane. However, as battery capacities grow and additional components compete for board space, even smaller solutions are required.
The new ST20 Series answers that demand with a stacked-tray architecture: a single tray holds a card on both its top and bottom surfaces, cutting PCB footprint by approximately 50% compared to the ST19 Series. The slot itself is formed when two reflow-mounted components — a socket (＊2) and a block (＊3) — come together on the PCB, eliminating any separate joining mechanism and enabling an exceptionally compact, low-profile design.

  • microSD™ is a trademark of the SD Association
  • The Socket is consists of a connector housing, contacts on the tray’s top side, and a detection switch, designed to support nanoSIM cards
  • The Block has contacts on the bottom of the tray that support nanoSIM or microSD cards, enabling 3-in-2 functionality

Features

  • 3-in-2 configuration: nanoSIM (top) + microSD (bottom), or nanoSIM on both top and bottom
  • Push-pull tray operation
  • Dimensions: 2.35 mm (H) × 15.2 mm (W) × 15.9 mm (D)
  • Anti buckling contact design
  • Normally closed tray detection switch (D-SW)
  • Misinsertion prevention structure
  • Card retaining features designed in tray
