[0002] In the continuous evolution of storage technology, the launch of the SD Express 8.0 standard marks a major leap forward in SD card technology. By integrating the PCI Express (PCIe) 4.0 interface, it pushes the data transfer rate to a new height, theoretically up to 4GB / s. This performance leap places higher demands on the physical design of memory cards, especially in terms of connector structure. In order to support faster PCIe transmission, the SD Express 8.0 card connector needs to be equipped with more channel contact points and terminals, as well as a denser PCB solder pin layout to ensure the stability and reliability of high-speed data transmission. However, this is accompanied by a significant increase in the complexity of the connector structure, which greatly increases the difficulty of production and processing, which is a major challenge for manufacturers.
[0003] Traditional SD card connector designs often fail to meet the high standards of SD Express 8.0, especially considering the need to achieve efficient, high-density signal transmission in a limited space while ensuring good signal integrity, electrical isolation, and mechanical stability. During the production process, the complex multi-pin structure easily leads to difficult precision control, low assembly efficiency, and reduced yield, which in turn affects the cost-effectiveness and market competitiveness of the product.
