3M Retainer Clip for CompactFlash

Uses active mechanical retention to fasten the card to the header, providing a second layer of protection in addition to the passive friction that typically holds memory cards in place

March 10th, 2011
  • 3M Retainer Clip for CompactFlash (from 3M)Secures CompactFlash Type I and Type II removable memory cards mated with 3M CompactFlash II card headers, preventing the cards from falling out, even in high-vibration environments
  • Designers can easily incorporate the metal latch into existing CompactFlash II systems that use 3M card headers
  • Applications include medical, , industrial, communications, military/aerospace, and and surveillance
