SKU: 182E

The CF extend 182E is a low profile flexible extender card designed to physically extend the CompactFlash™ socket for easy access. Similar to Sycard's CF extend 180, the model 182 reduces the overall dimensions of the extender by using a single piece flexible circuit board. The lower profile allows for uses in many applications where the CF extend 180 was too bulky. The CF extend 182 extends the CompactFlash socket 5". The CF extend 182E can also be used as a "Type extender" which allows the user to insert a Type II CF+ card (5mm thick) into a Type I (3.3mm) or Type II (5.0mm)slot. By using the CF extend 182, Type II peripherals, such as the IBM Microdrive™ hard disk drives or RF/radio devices, can be inserted into computers that only support Type I cards. Before attempting to use the CF extend 182 in such an application, the user should verify if the power consumption of the Type II CF+ Card is compatible with the host system. The CF extend 182 is available in two configurations. The standard CF extend 182 comes without a card ejector. This configuration is designed for applications that don't require frequent card changes. The CF extend 182E provides an integral ejector mechanism and is designed for applications that require frequent card insertion/removal or physical card protection.
