Transcend Card Reader PCMCIA Compact Flash Type II, Compact Flash Type I

Transcend Card Reader, 85.6mm Height, PCMCIA Interface Type - TS0MCF2PC

This card reader is an internal PCMCIA device designed to accept CompactFlash Type II and Type I media for data transfer within industrial systems. It fits into a PCMCIA slot to provide direct access to CF storage in automation and electronics equipment, offering a compact, low-weight solution for embedded applications.

Features and Benefits:

• Accepts CompactFlash Type II and Type I for media compatibility and flexibility
  PCMCIA Interface enables direct bus-level integration with host systems
  Internal mounting reduces external cabling and conserves panel space
  Low mass minimises added load in weight-sensitive installations

Applications

• Suitable for firmware and data logging storage in automation controllers
  Used with industrial PCs requiring removable CF media access
  Ideal for electrical test rigs that need Compact onboard storage
  Can be used for field data capture in mechanical systems with PCMCIA slots

What physical footprint should I allow for installation?

The reader occupies an internal form factor measuring 85.6mm in one Axis and 54mm in the other, with a slim profile of 5mm thickness to fit tight chassis spaces.

How does the unit affect overall system weight?

The component adds approximately 22g, which is negligible for most control cabinets and embedded assemblies where minimising mass is important.

Which card types are supported for data interchange?

It accepts both CompactFlash Type II and the thinner Type I cards, enabling use of a broad range of CF media for loggers and programme storage.

What connection protocol does it use to communicate with the host?

Communication is via the PCMCIA interface, allowing direct connection to systems that expose that bus standard.
