Mini-Bar Receptacle with Flat Targets

The Mini-Bar series is the smallest portable memory form factor in the Datakey product line. Measuring only 0.64 inches in length, Mini-Bar receptacles are 60% smaller than Bar receptacles. Mini-Bar receptacles mate with all Mini-Bar memory tokens (see Mini-Bar token datasheets for more information). The receptacles are designed to mount on the surface of an OEM device (enclosure, housing, panel, etc.) or can be integrated into a corner, with nothing extending into the device. Spring probes may be used to make contact with the flat targets on the bottom of the receptacle. This mounting method minimizes the amount of interior space required to integrate the receptacle into the OEM device. Mini-Bar receptacles are available with or without an adhesive gasket. The receptacle is secured using two screws (not included). ATEK offers an interface board with a low-profile FPC/FFC connector. An off-the-shelf flat flex cable may be used to connect the receptacle to internal circuitry.

Designed for use in the most challenging environments, the Mini-Bar series meets several MIL-STD-810 specifications, provides an intuitive slide-in/slide out operation, and features an open design for easy in-field cleaning. The Mini-Bar receptacle also features a retention pin that helps to keep the token firmly in place during operation – standing up to the most demanding shock and vibration requirements.
